cpuHogTicks

Usage

the cpuHogTicks

Description

System property; determines how often Director releases control of the CPU to let the computer

process background events, such as events in other applications, network events, clock updates,

and other keyboard events.

The default value is 20 ticks. To give more time to Director before releasing the CPU to

background events or to control how the computer responds to network operations, set

cpuHogTicks to a higher value.

To create faster auto-repeating key performance but slower animation, set

cpuHogTicks to a

lower value. In a movie, when a user holds down a key to generate a rapid sequence of auto-

repeating key presses, Director typically checks for auto-repeating key presses less frequently than

the rate set in the computer’s control panel.

The

cpuHogTicks property works only on the Macintosh.

Example

This statement tells Director to release control of the CPU every 6 ticks, or every 0.10 of a

second:

the cpuHogTicks = 6
