Title: RE: FLASH: Frame rates

well it sort of does, in the sense that it throws light on the issue dealing with frame rates, monitor refresh rates and redraw abilities of the processor.

 

Hw many times have you seen animations redraw poorly, especially when the animation enlarges a vector element whilst changing it's Alpha levels??

 

 

Its all related to frame rates, etc.

so why must you bore us with your science Tim if it does not answer the question?

Actually, the refresh rate that the human eye can perceive actually depends on the luminance (some characteristic like that) the light source is. Its referred to as the CFF (controled(?) flicker factor).

 

 

Sometimes depending on the condition the eye can see higher flicker rates..the general threshold is actually above 25 frames per second, but because television and film, etc..is generally alot darker than say the luminance of the sun, you dont notice any flickering.

 

But that is all pretty irrelevent to flash animations

Television & video is run at 25 frames per second so u definately do not need to go higher than that. I usually use the default 12fps or up to 20fps depending on the animation.

What is considered a very high framerate?
