  • 0

I need to be able to continue rendering a SWF file whilst it is off screen or minimized. Taken from the adobe website: “This is an automatic feature in Flash Player since version 10.1. Flash Player minimizes processing when SWF content goes off-screen.”

I have extensively searched around for a solution on this. One solution suggested was to use the HTML parameter “hasPriority” and set it to true which will ensure some things are not paused. SWF content will stop rendering regardless of this when off screen or hidden.

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable this automatic feature so my SWF will continue to render off screen?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    The flash virtual machine is specifically designed so that, while viewing flash in the browser, the VM is paused when the instance of the player loses window focus. This is necessary functionality in order to… well.. keep flash from utterly destroying your computer, forcing it catch ablaze and send it to the computer underworld. Just imagine what would happen if you had 3-4 flash sites open and rendering off screen on your tablet. It would die a horrible death. You cannot override this functionality.
