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,

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

ps. Your footer rocks.

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.

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
