Stable FPS Test
June 2nd, 2006
I tried one more time to get a stable frameRate in browser enviroment and an old workaround works fine for me now (flash9player tested).
//-- pseudo code lastExitFrameMillis: int function init(): void { lastExitFrameMillis = getTimer(); frameRate = 200; } function onEnterFrameLoop( event: Event ): void { // execute code // [...] while( getTimer() - lastExitFrameMillis < 20 ){}; lastExitFrameMillis = getTimer(); }
My results:
IE6.0 = 49 FPS
FireFox 1.5.0.3 = 47 FPS
Please test with your system and post you results

June 2nd, 2006 at 1:41 pmFireFox 1.5.0.3 = 49 (max and most often, although it did dip in places very briefly)
If it makes a difference my set up is a 1.3ghz pentium 4 from the old days.

June 2nd, 2006 at 2:28 pm@ash: I tried this a long time before (flash6) and the playback was very chunky when the movies sucks some performance from the processor. I cannot believe, that this will be better now. try out !

June 2nd, 2006 at 8:53 pmYes, runs at a stable 49 for me to, firefox and ie. If I try the other example with the ability to change framerate and set it to max, it runs at ~480 :)
Really nice work btw(as always).

Firefox 1.5.0.4It runs smoothly though the firefox cpu usage goes way up over 50%. Maybe this is the price we have to pay.

June 30th, 2006 at 11:25 pmWow, I just did the test on the new Intel Mac Beta player and it runs with 50 fps in Safari. Firefox (1.5.0.4) does 45fps but that browser is crap on the Mac anyway.
