RE: FLASH: flash 5 player too fast

[JGL]

Yep, that's what I was thinking too. The new 5 player seems more efficient

at displaying frame rate (don't know how) and it looks like more control is

available at specifying such. My 18fps movies run real fast but when I drop

the rate to 12, it seems back to normal.


Note: The movie loaded at level 0 dictates frame rate even if you load a

movie at a high level with a higher frame rate.


I appreciate the apparent new efficiencies of the 5 player. I think the best

approach is to require player 5 and so you can drop the frame rate of your

movies to make them play the same as before.


I guess through all this 5 player beta stuff, that was one of my beefs too.

Movies do play much faster with 5. And since I couldn't/shouldn't require

the 5 player as a viewing tool for my sites, I didn't like the 5 player in

public hands. My sites were looking clumsy when running to fast.


But it also should be noted that in regards to this, the 5 player does not

display content the same as player4. Player 5 plays all my movies and others

I checked much faster.


This *is* a consideration in light of the fact we are asked to report

differences of content display. Maybe not a bug, but a concern.


Did you note this to the feedback address:

If you see a synch difference with this player, then that implies that you

would have seen a similar problem with newer and faster computers too.


Tip: You can synch reliably by specifying a framerate that all your target

delivery machines can meet. (You can also uses streaming sound in the Flash

Player to force it to drop visual frames if needed.)
