in the adobe flash publish settings i spotted a setting called “Hardware acceleration” with these options:

  • None
  • Level 1 – Direct
  • Level 2 – GPU

now my question is, if you dont use flash to compile your swf but rather flex sdk, can you also enable these accelerations?

thanks!

    The hardware acceleration mode is set via an HTML parameter so it does not matter if you do not use the Flash IDE to compile the SWF.

    When you publish your SWF file, the HTML file that embeds it contains
    a wmode HTML parameter. Choosing Level 1 or Level 2 hardware
    acceleration sets the wmode HTML parameter to “direct” or “gpu”
    respectively. Turning on hardware acceleration overrides the Window
    Mode setting you may have chosen in the HTML tab of the Publish
    Settings dialog box, because it is also stored in the wmode parameter
    in the HTML file.
