Flash :: Site Takes A While To Load With Min Flash

My Site Takes Forever To Load?
I am a newbie to flash but I am learning it fast -- I have been face down in the book - on this site and building and building....

Here it is.....

I have a website I am building - I decided to use flash... so I have been teaching myself to use it. I designed this real cool site -- I tested the movie several times - I designed a preloader to open it (nothing fancy - just a loader) .....

It takes forever to load... now I have sound and graphics in there. -- I exported the graphics JPEG quality 90 -- It could be the sound but it is a loop -- I looped it 22 times - there are only 111 frames that the preloader waits for..... I exported the sound at 44khz --- is that the problem - the sound?

I want this thing to kick butt you know -- I would like to have the quality be real tight ---

you can check it at http://www.MafiosoRecords.com

I am not done with it - really just starting - but I am confused about the load time - if you could give me some advise that would be great.

[CS3]Site Takes Long To Load
full swf size is probably around 3MB

but this is simply because the client wanted an MP3 to kick at HIGH Quality from the minute the user presses to enter to go the URL...

so i did a crude solution n jus stuck the MP3 at high quality in a movieclip over the entire site which is all inside about 10frames in scene 1...

how do i dynamically load the MP3 so that load time for the actual site is small

as right now the preloader doesnt even show until the mp3 starts.
but the MP3 needs to kick in as fast as poss

Portfolio Site Takes Too Long Too Load
hi

We have put together a portfolio site at www.coupdeville.net. which we have tried to keep as simple as possible. the idea is there are a sequence of images that load one after another so should all be preloaded by the time they are accesed. however the site seems to insist on loading all the images before showing the front page. we have put a preloader on but this will not show either. have also tried putting all the images on seperate scenes to help load the title page quicker but again to no avail.. am i missing a basic point?

Can I Shrink My Site Down? Takes Too Long To Load.
Hey guys, I have my site which takes too long to load in some places. But at home my cable connection makes my page load pretty quickly.

Flash Site Takes WAY To Long, Have Preloader
check out this web site www.johnnutterglass.com I have a pre-loader for each clip. There are 3 clips. The gallery, and arch. page. and the home page. The images are in the clips them selves. As you can see, the loading time is real sad.. No one will wait that long.. Only when you"refresh" your screen does they showup... After it says "done".. Any suggestions? Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Flash Takes Too Long To Load Online
Hi All,

I am creating a web page using flash and it takes a long time to load when you go to the webpage. it opens as if it is working, but then the links don't work properly...that is...until at the bottom of the browser window it says "done" instead of "waiting for http://www.blah blah blah..." once it says "done" it works just fine.

two questions:

1. is there a way to reduce the size of the flash file so that it loads quicker online?
2. OR..does anyone know how to create that little "intro" screen when you go to a website that says "loading" and you see a little bar loading....and then only when it is COMPLETELY loaded, does the flash begin?

thanks so much!

Flash Animation Takes Forever To Load?
Hi all.

I think my problem is that it is taking forever to load. However, I'm not sure. Here is the link to the flash animation:

http://www.kelso-burnett.com/scripts/kb100.html

What I see there is a green horizontal "barber pole" scrolling animation like this:

http://www.tinyang.net/flash.jpg

When I look at other embedded flash animations on the web, I often see that scrolling bar like that while it loads, but it goes away pretty quickly and the animation starts. Mine just stays at the scroll bar indefinately. Below is my code for embedding the flash animation. I get this same problem in both IE6 and FF2/3. Not sure if I should be posting in the html forum or this one (please redirect me if this is the wrong forum). Please let me know if I need to provide any other info. Any suggestions on what the problem is and how to fix? Thanks!

Flash Takes To Long To Load For People On Phone Connection But Is Only 41 Kb
http://207.44.238.14/~design.com/html/index.php

Hi that link above is to a theme that is being designed for my site.
I see the flash at the top but Im on dsl.

People on phone connection say it takes forever to load for them - some say it takes over 2 minutes

The person who made the flash said its only 41kb and that is pretty small.

Why is it takein so long for people to see it on a phone connection?

Is there anyway to make it load faster or an alternative?

Thanks
Any help would be very appreciated

My Site's Preloader Takes Me In Too Early
This one's bugging me because I'm sure the answer is sitting right here in front of my face. The site I've created is quite big: the flash portion comes out to 1.3 megabytes, so a preloader is a necessity.

The preloader sits on the first frame and is set to take the viewer in when the last frame (frame 39) is downloaded. The problem is that it works for only a few frames and then takes the viewer in. Navigation is unpredictable until the whole site downloads.

Here is the code I have as a frame action:

if(_framesloaded==39) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}

Anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any help.

Weird: Site Takes Hundreds Of MB On RAM. 600MB?
hello,

i'm working on a website where i have about about 30 seconds of video divided in 7 videos in a hi-res.
i'm using AS3 within flash CS3.

i found out a problem that i havent been able to solve so far.

i place every video (encoded FLV or image sequences) by code with addChild and i remove them with removeChildAt(0). since i only have one MC on stage everytime i can remove it this way.

well 800x600 resolution videos can make a big SWF file for sure, but when i click on each button and remove one movie and add another the RAM just blows up. it reaches 1GB of RAM of used memory by flash when i run the project.

it happens when i removeChild and add a new one, which is just a movieclip made of a sequence of images or a encoded flv MC.

has anyone had any problem like this? this is some huge memory leak, and i can't see the problem

thanks in advance,

It Takes Forever To Load
I have a movie as the opener for my webpage. It works, but it takes forever to download. What is wrong with it? The site is http://www.angelfire.com/il3/sarah
The location of the .swf file is http://www.angelfire.com/il3/sarah/s...ageopening.swf
The .html file can be found at http://www.angelfire.com/il3/sarah/s...geopening.html
Also, how can I make an "loading" beginning part for the movie? I have an idea, but I don't want to try it w/o being told for sure. I have a dial up 56k internet service which takes forever to upload the file to my file manager. Is there any way to shrink my movie file?
Thanks SO MUCH!!!

Movie Takes Too Long To Load
I'm working on a website for a photographer. I want the images to be displayed in a movie similar to this website:

http://www.wilsonwenzel.com/

I figured out but now the problem I'm encountering is that my movie takes forever to load. Another problem is that it's a big hassle to have to individually make each image fade in and fade out, since there are so many images. Is there any code that I can use so that I don't have to do each individual image? Also, how can I make my preloader start loading faster. i would really appreciate the help!!! Please help me!!! thanks!

Page Takes Too Long To Load Why?
I am very new to web page develpment anf flash

Here is my problem

I have created a very simple web page it is made up of a black background and a flash movie that is 12kb in size.
When I try to load/view the html page on my PC it seems to take for ever to load up and eventually I quit trying to load the page.

I must be missing something very simple here. When I create a web page that has nothing but a black background it loads instantly so why is a web page that contains nothing but a 12kb flash movie taking so long to load

thanks

Preloader Takes Too Long To Load
Hi. My Flash presentation has some biggish images with dynamic linkage. I have done what I read I should do, which is stick the images at the start of my presentation. I'm using scenes, so I have dumped them onto frame 1 of the scene which opens right after the preloader scene is done. The problem is that the preloader itself takes too long to load - maybe a good 8 seconds! So my presentation does load the big images first.. but why so long to load the preloader?? All help appreciated.

Preloader Takes Too Long To Load
I made a simple preloader which i tested on a small flash file and loaded fast but when it gets to the really big file which has about 10 layers it loads very late like when the download is about 41% thtoug.

I believe this defeats the purpose of the preloader and i also believe its the number of empty keyframes on frame one that delayed the preloader. I dont understand why this is happening because they are empty.
Someone please help

Preloader Takes Soooo Long To Load

HTML Page In Popup Takes Too Long To Load
hello!

if someone can take a look at this....i believe there is something wrong somewhere, which is why it takes so long to load the HTML page in the pop up....

go to this site: http://www.ziefle.de

press on the ziefle logo. then click "skip intro" and then on "news" in the navi above. i wrote the javascript function in the html page where the swf file embedded is. it looks like this:

PHP Code:

<script language="javascript">
    function news() {
        window.open("znewsframe.html", "news", "width=500,height=500,directories='no',menubar='no',location='no',resizable='no',scrollbars='no',toolbar='no'");
    }
</script>

then, on the news button in flash, i have :

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:news();");
}

thats it. the HTML page that is loaded in this pop is is a frameset. it only has a few pics and text. i just dont understand why it takes almost 30 secs. for the whole thing to load.

please help! im just fully frustrated with this thing!!!

thanks,

[F8] Streaming Sound Still Takes Forever To Load In A Website
I've been using Flash for a while, but I just recently started working more with sound and web publishing, and I'm a bit confused...

I'm working with a file in Flash 8 using the screens mode. I added a voiceover to it by breaking up the original audio file into pieces that matched each slide, then importing them seperately. The audio files all together total about 1.5MB.

I've set each file to the stream mode, but when I try to view it on the web it takes a very long time before it starts to play. I thought streaming meant everything didn't have to be downloaded before playback began?

If it has anything to do with it, I also have a controller that allows the viewer to play, pause, or go to previous or next slide.

I'm really confused and need to get this file to load faster on the web. I'd really appreciate any help you could give!

EDIT: The sound files are all MP3s that I set to the lowest bit rate I could with Flash before they sounded unacceptable...the final SWF file is around 1.8MB.

[F8] Short Text Takes A Long Time To Load
Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem. I have this site http://www.nc3.back.co.il/

If you click on a link on the right, text should appear. Well, it does appear, but after a long time and I dont understand why.
If it's any help, each link loads a different swf file in to the main swf (loadMovie).

Thanks in advance, Alex.

Flash Site Won't Load
Hi,
I made a little Flash site for a company a couple of years ago. It looked fine when I uploaded it. Now, for some reason, when I go to it, it won't get past the preloader screen. It just sits there at the preloader and never progresses. I don't know why it doesn't load any more. Is this because of an upgrade or something? Do I need to publish the site in a different version? I don't understand why it used to work 6 months ago and now no longer loads. Do I need to republlish????

Thanks!

How Do I Get The Flash Site To Load An XML Without Security
I made a music mp3 player but now the XML wont load and the music player says undefined. I changed security settings in Adobe Flash Player. But I dont want to have everybody who views it have to change settings. Is there some type of ActionScript code that will allow the XML to load without security problems. I have the XML on the same server folder as the .SWF file. The site url is : www.eternityfocus.com/test_flash.html

Load Swf In Flash Site OnLoad
I have built a full flash website per the kirupa tutorial. on one of the inside pages, I want to load a pre-built flash player that I have the source fla and completed swf for. I think that I need to use loadmovie for this, but where do I assign the action script--on a frame, on an empty movie clip? and how do I make the movie load when the containing swf loads, and not with an event handler like the release of a button.

Flash Site WON"T Load
This is very strange. Maybe somebody had this problem, too. I have built a flash by using levels to load external swf files. The website works everywhere except my college library! When I try to go to my site on college computer it just displays the background, so flash does load but non of the levels do. Also, all other websites that I think are using levels to load swf files work well on college computer. Its really frustrating, now I don't know if the website I built does work on all the computers. The library uses new version of Internet Exp.

The website is www.evisconti.com

Did it work on your compute? Your replies are truelly appreciated, Thanks!

Entire Site In Flash- Load Help Please
Ok, Here is my problem, I am creating my entire site in flash, I have it mostly done, but I need to change some things, for one, the basic layout is the same in every page, so is there a way to load a new movie ino an already made movie, and in the one I already have made, the button that is active, is a different color, (here is the site I have done already, Flash Test Site )

I think it would go to the different pages much quicker if I was not loading an entire new movie, I am using the

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("portfolio.swf", 0);
}

code right now to load the individual movies into the one HTML page.

Also, If you are able to.... the Quote page has a form, the form is working, however, in two fields, it has this inserted into it --- _level0.email and _level0.domainname - how can I make it where those fields are empty?

Thankyou so much for your help, and if there are any other suggestions, please let me know.

Flash Site Slow On Load...
Hey everyone,

So I finished my site finally, but it seems to be super duper slow. I believe that one reason is probably becuase the placed images in the external swf files are too large in size(?), but then there are other areas of the site that load slowly also, (and they have no images what so ever) and when you let it all load, and then go back to that page on the site, it works fine. What the heck? Can somebody take a look at my site and let me know what they think the problem might be and what to do about making it load faster and/or smoother? They're all external swf files that load into the main movie, but I'm not looking to use preloaders for each one, unless I really really need to. And then I will have to I guess. Anyway, here's the url:

Any help would be much appriciated. Thanks in advance!
