Are there any performance benchmark tools for Flash?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:04:06 GMT

I am looking to benchmark Flash on various computers that I use. I was surprised that the performance of Adobe Flash on my Intel i5 computer running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS and IE 10 was MUCH WORSE than running on a Windows 7 Pro 32-bit on an Intel i3 computer running the same browser.

I have tried running both 32-bit IE and 64-bit IE and get the same general bad performance on the 64-bit Windows OS. I would like to find a tool to benchmark these various computers so that I can establish baseline performance while I explore finding a fix Adobe Flash on a 64-bit OS.

Can someone suggest some tools for Flash performance benchmarking? Thank you.

How do I install Shockwave in PowerPoint 2010?

After extensive searching, I find that LiveWeb is about the only PowerPoint add-in that allows a live web page displayed in PowerPoint. Unfortunately is depends on Shockwave. I have Shockwave installed in my IE browser and verified, but PowerPoint does not see it. How do I get Shockwave to work with PowerPoint 2010?

FYI, this question has been asked several times over the last 5+ years for other versions of PowerPoint but there are no answers in the Adobe forums.

Flash logs out when window is covered or tabbed off

1st, as new here, hope this is posted in the right place.

Starting a month or so ago, I noticed a new behavior with Flash. Whenever I would switch to another window, the flash web application I was running (game, advertisement, whatever) would stop, leaving me with a grey window and an 'f' in the middle. Lol, so appropriate. What's the deal? What's the fix? I should be able to tab to another window, minimize, or bring some other window in front of that browser page and still let the thing run "off screen" or hidden. Why does it stop? Typically I have to login again to the application or restart the demo or application that was running flash. Very annoying.
