Edge project slowing down

HI pancreasboy12.

I have been having the same problems.

I posted this 2 days ago.

So far I have heard nothing. I am currently trying to delete my looped animations when they are not being used to free up some resources. HIdeing or stopping the animations when they are not being used seems to have no effect.

I have managed to dynamically create the animations as I need them by following this.

So far I cannot delete the dynamically created symbols on a click or on a trigger. I cannot see why they wont delete!! I tried this http://forums.adobe.com/message/5283417#5283417

I'm not even sure if this will fix our issue but it might help??

The question is: how much transparency are you dealing with?  Part of the problem with transparency (we've found) is that it begins overloading the GPU on device, and image size isn't actually indicative of how much it'll thrash as PNG packs transparency really tightly.

My project also only has a few SVG's and only one PNG and it eventually slows down too.

It starts off very smooth and fast.

I don't think in my case it is a transparency issue either.

I think I have found the issue here. Perhaps your is the same.

In my project I had quite a few short looped symbols (between 1 and 3 seconds) that were controlled and reset by a triggers of sym.play(0); or sym.playReverse(); at the end of the loop.

I presumed shorter loops woud be easier to load than longer ones!!

The project would start fine but would quickly become laggy. It would by unuseable after abut 8 minutes on older machines and eventually stop completely. The more elements I added to the project the quicker it would lag.

I changed all my loops to be approximately 2 minutes long by repeating the animation timelines over and over again instead of looping back to the start so quickly.

Now my animation has been running for 40 minutes without any lag on a low powered 6 year old laptop.

I havent checked it on an iPad yet but hopefully along with dynamically loading and deleted the symbols as needed (http://forums.adobe.com/message/6001189#6001189) it should now perform ok.

I hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem ... I'm trying to loop 3 different SVG's with really short timeline's 1-2 seconds.. and I have a couple other rollover edge elements on the page that are only moving when the mouse hits them..

It lags like crazy after a min. or more (new mac 8gb ram).

I'll try extending this into a longer animation.. hopefully the file size will stay small and the laggin will stop.

To everyone who has posted to this thread:

It would be great if I could get a copy of your animations for us to test with internally so that we can profile and see what's going on.  Please either post a link to your project files (including the .an files) either to this thread or to me via private message.

Thanks,

Ok I extended my animations to 20 seconds each and just repeated them like crazy and its actaully worked so far. A few minutes open and no sign of slowing down.

Good call!

I didn't notice a big difference in file size. It still loads very quickly and now I have loads of longs 2 minute loops. All svgs. Hopefully it should be OK for you.

I actually don't think it is a memory issue either. The CPU usage seems to get higher and higher over time with small loops. That's cpu load is the problem for some reason.

Let me know if it works out for you.
