Computer Speed Test

[cr125rider]

Kind of a peculiar question:

How might someone detect if an end users computer is slow? I tried a search but got anything and anything but a good answer. Are there built in FPS functions?

Thanks,

[GreenLantern]

Are you talking like CPU speed? I've never heard of anything like this.

ps. Your footer rocks.

[cr125rider]

Thanks, yeah CPU speed, I saw something a while back on www.flashkit.com that had something like it on it. It had a small bar in the corner displaying the CPU speed. I tried a search there but got strange results also.

I have seen FPS counters on projects before, so it is possible... But i dont know how to do it though.

[Yeldarb]

Getting FPS is fairly easy, but it won't tell you a user's CPU speed.

I'm not sure of the exact way to get FPS, but I know that it has to do with getTimer and the current frame and the framerate.

according to yeldarb i think you need a timer it checks what frame your on the n the timer does one csecond laater check what frame your on and the difference is you framerate i don't know how to program it though.

[cr125rider]

Is there a get FPS function?

[Marz]

No, there isn't.

You have to build your own function.

I built an FPS movieclip... its actually pretty simple when you think about it:



onClipEvent(load) {
starttime = new Date().getSeconds();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
framecount++;
thistime = new Date().getSeconds();
if(starttime != thistime) {
starttime = thistime;
rate_txt.text = framecount;
framecount = 0;
}
}
//rate_txt is a text field in the movie clip to display the FPS

Try using that code.

camera!!! can someone explain more?

[ratbaggy]

well if you break the animation of the circle filling up to 100 frames use the percent variable to gotoAndStop on the frame (in the circle animation) using the number in the percent variable

Tutorial on how to test Speed of computer

In Flash, if you go to "publish" your movie and while you are watching it go to "view", then "bandwidth profiler" it tells you fps and more.
