Flash :: Why Does Loadmovie Slows Down The Loaded Movie

Why Does Loadmovie Slows Down The Loaded Movie?
I have a lil problem here. Whenever i load external swf movie into my placeholder1 and placeholder2 at main.swf, the movie that i've loaded seems to slow down quite a bit.
But if those swf file is playing standalone, it runs smoothly.

Anyone knows why this is happening?
Is it because i've put too many soundobjects or is it the animation?
Any tips for optimisation?

your feedbacks will be greatly appreciated

Loadmovie Slows Animation
Hi guys,

I'm designing a flash website right now with different movies being loaded into different levels. The background music is running on level 7, with everything else below it.

My question: Every time the background music movie is loaded, the site runs slower than usual. Is there any way to fix this? When the soundtrack is unloaded, the site runs fine. Is there any other effective way to have music in the background without disrupting animation?

Thanks for the help!

Using Levels Slows Down Loaded Swf?
hi guys,

i am making a presentation for my client which has a video when the user hit the "show movie" button, i tried to make another swf to store and load it when the button has been clicked. it is loaded on level 1 of the current scene. But the problem is the video slows down quite a lot and everything is like a slow motion. Is it because i still have too many stuff happening on level 0 and the computer is not fast enough to have two huge swf show at the same time? how can i turn off the animation on level 0 when i load the video?

thanks for any help, cheers!

Externally Loaded Swf Slows Rollover Buttons
I beginning to create a portfolio online. I have a pretty standard setup so far. I have a main swf which loads external swfs. One of my externally loaded swfs loads another external swf. When it does, my rollover animated buttons are slow in the main.swf. Any ideas. Memory issue i guess. I've attached the swfs.

Any suggestions? Memory issue I assume. Thanks.

LoadMovie/loadMovie From Loaded Movie?
I know I know .. messed up heading .. but ..

I have a button that loads a swf into an empty mc (sliderContainerMC)

(release) {
_root.sliderContainerMC.loadMovie("http://www.justinsteiger.com/flash/anims/sliderOpen.swf");
}

That works as advertised. The difficulty comes when I tell the button on that swf to load a new swf into the same MC (sliderClose.swf). Since the swf in the MC (sliderOpen.swf) isn't the same swf (loading into a MC in justinsflashsite.swf) do I need to change the path? Say to include something telling it to load the swf into the parent swf?

Eventually the swf that's called into the empty MC is going to have buttons that are supposed to call up other swf's that load in other empty MC's around the site. HELP?!

Thanks,
Justin
http://www.justinsteiger.com/flash/justinsflashsite.fla (Is the parent swf)

Addressing The Main Movie Timeline From A Movie Loaded Via LoadMovie.
I have a clip on the main time line of a host movie that I would like to make visible when the second frame of the swf to be loaded, containing an embedded video movie clip loads.

I have this code on the video clip in the movie to be loaded:

code: onClipEvent (load) {
_root.witch_mc._visible=true;

}

Which I had hoped would have addressed the main timeline of the host movie where the targeted clip was – but no joy.

Any help please?

Loadmovie From Within Loaded Movie
Hi,

I have my main swf called all.swf which contains nav buttons which load an external swf into an empty movie clip:

on (release) {
_root.mtClip.loadMovie("productstoc.swf");
}

This works fine, but in productstoc.swf I have 6 buttons that need to load external swfs into an empty movie clip mtclip2 in productstoc.swf. But this is not positioning to mtclip2 since its replacing productstoc.swf with the newly loaded clip access.swf, so it aligns to the top left of mtclip. This is the code I was using in productstoc.swf:

on (release) {
loadMovie("access.swf", mtclip2);
}

How can I load access.swf in the loaded movie or place in the right position in the main movie relative to mtclip?

Can I load the access.swf in another scene or frame of the productstoc.swf (alreay loaded movie)?

Your help is desperately needed.

Thanks

LoadMovie For Loaded Movie
Hi.

Confusing title, I know. So here is my explanation:
I use loadMovie() to load a few external swf files.
Later I want them to appear in a nested masked MC.

I had a function using loadMovie() in that nested MC,
but the external swf already has to be loaded
(for design reasons).

I wish I could continue using the loadMovie()-function
to load a MC from outside of the stage, but I know
it's only for external files.

How can I solve this problem? I tried to duplicate the
loaded swf into the MC, but I haven't managed it to work.

If you have any idea or hint, please tell me.

Thank you alot!
Best regards from Hamburg, Germany!

Loadmovie-action Within A Loaded Movie
Hi,

with a button action I load an external movie into a mc on my stage of my main-mc. The external movie is now on my stage in the target-mc called loader, let us name the external-mc "aboutme.swf". I do have some buttons in the aboutme-mc which do have also a loadmovie-action: They load an external movie into the level 0 of the aboutme-mc. I want to replace the aboutme-mc with some other mc's.
Everything works fine if i open the aboutme-mc and than load with the included buttonn an external movie into level 0, but the problem is, that if I open my main-mc, click the aboutme-button on my main-movie, click also the button in the aboutme-mc everything gets replaced with the external-movie.

Sorry about my english-problems, I hope that you have understand it though.

Controlling A Movie Loaded With LoadMovie()
Hey, guys! Stumped again. I am trying to load an external .swf file into a clip instance, so that I can move/resize/etc. with AS. First, I make a new movie symbol called "logo" in my main timeline. Then, I use:

logo.loadMovie("myfile.swf");

That doesn't seem to work. I guess my REAL question is: how do you load an external .swf so that you can tweak it with AS?

Bad MCs That Slows Down All The Movie?
Hi, there!

Well, I have this website and I am with a problem that is annoying me.
In the bottom of the screen I have a mc that is a bar with 8 photos, filling all the bottom of the page (from left to right). The mc have 760px (width) by 67 (height).

Well, it suppose to slide from left to right one pixel each time, then I put the following script on the mc:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = this._x-1;
}

The problem is that this animation is slowing down ANY other animation of the site up to half of its right speed. I pressed CONTROL-ALT-DEL, opened the task manager and took a look in the performance tab, and there is my CPU stucked in 100% (my machine in an Athlon XP 1700+ and my movie runs at 30fps for smooth moves).

I noticed that the same seems to happen when I put some frame-by-frame animation, like titles created by Flax.

There is any way to improve the movie performance in order to avoid this CPU eating???

I have seen a lot of Flash websites where the guys abuses the animations and this kind of problem dont seems to happen...

Any help will be apreciated!

Thanks!

Movie Slows Down
I am a relative newbie to flash, so this might be an obvious question. I am working on a project where I am animating a song. One of my layers is an mp3 track that plays along. I set up certain events to start and end at particular points in the song, but when I 'Test' the movie the timing is off. It seems that the animation is playing slower than it should. My guess would be that the animation will get slower as you add more and more simultaneous movies. Is this correct? What is the practical limit on concurrent movies and sub-movies? Is there a way to counteract or mitigate this slowdown effect? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am thinking that I could alter my start and stop points to compensate for the slowdown, but I am concerned that each machine will play the movie at different speeds depending on processor speed/memory.

Thanks

Movie Slows Down
Hi,
i have a movie with a lot of vector work in it. A lot of small animations happening at once.
The movie plays fine but a few seconds into it- it begins to slow down dramatically.

Is that because of the amount of vector objects i have in the clip or the amount of animations i have going at once? Or is it happening for another reason.
How do i fix this?

Thanks.

8 K Image Slows Movie Down?
Hi all

i am making a game, space invaders, yea i know....

anyway i have been getting the gaming concepts correct and have been working on a black background. My framerate is 24 fps and everything works as it should do.

So i then try to, using a shared library, bring over a symbol that i made in another swf, again at 24 fps, this will be the backdrop for the game. There is no motion in this back drop, just a still graphic symbol.

When i publish the full movie with the backdrop symbol included, my game is running at half speed. The backdrop is no more than 8k in size - Why is this causing my game to now run at half speed????????????????

Thanks in advance

As soon as the movie is loaded it slows down my movie on level 0 a lot! I can see from the navigation in the main movie.

Is that the reason? And if so, does anyone have a solution for getting around this?

But it works fine for the first 2 or 3 buttons but after clicking more and more buttons going from one page to another the animations start to creep. Do I need to cut my movie into seperate swfs and load it into different levels or just have a preloader? Or any other suggestions

Movie Slows Down In The Middle; Why?
Here's my 1st real attempt at a movie from scratch:
http://www.mechphisto.net/storage/clouds3.html

In the middle, it slows down. I know because those little balls of light that move are 10 frame tweens, repeated 9 times from beginning of the movie to end. For a couple of the tween sets, they go slow, then pick back up.
Why would they do that, and is there something I'm missing that can prevent it? Like, "Allow frame drop during heavy processing to prevent slowness" or some magic setting like that? =)

Thanks for any help!

Movie Clip Slows Down
I have a movie clip consisting of movieclip images fading in and out in a kind of slideshow.
What I've noticed is that after a certain number of frames, the tweening becomes jerky and really slow. So I split it up into a few separate movie clips and this seemed to help.
BUT, when I view the movie on an older machine with a slightly slower connection, the whole thing is so s l o w and really jerky.
I've seen other websites do this same kind of fadein/fadeout transitioning and it is not slow and jerky on the older machine.

OnLoad Event For Movie Clip Loaded With LoadMovie
Here is a basic one (I think).

I load a movie to a pre-existing clip like this.

loadMovie("redcircle.swf",_root.myClip);

..And it works very well. No prob there.
but when I call

_root.myClip.gotoAndPlay(2);

then myClip wont play frame 2.
If put the gotoAndPlay action under a button and wait
just a little while before pushing it then
it plays as it should. So I think there is a delay
while it is loading that makes it impossible to play
a frame in myClip right after I call loadMovie.

My question is: How do I tell my movie to wait until
redcircle.swf has been fully loaded into myClip and
then try to call gotoAndPlay?

LoadMovie : Loaded Movie Contains Scrollpane That Doesn't Work :(
I have a photo gallery which is divided into different sections chosen from a menu. The menu consists of several movieclips within a scrollpane. Each movieclip contains a button which will load a different gallery section into an empty movieclip (empty_clip) on the main stage. This works fine, I pasted the code below:

on (release) {
_root.empty_clip.loadMovie("g_030214.swf");
_root.empty_clip._x=207;
_root.empty_clip._y=112;
}

However, the loaded movieclip ("g_030214.swf") also contains a scrollpane with several thumbnails (buttons). Clicking the thumbnails will display larger versions of the images (each image is located in a different frame within the loaded movie). This is where I have a problem as I can't get this to work.

This is the code for one of the buttons:

on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndStop("feb03_11");
}

When I click the button, nothing happens. "feb03_11" is the frame label containing img11 from this section.

I am quite new to Flash and I suppose I'm just mixing up the terms here, but I really don't know how to sort this out. Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks

LoadMovie And Nested MC's In The Loaded Movie With Timeline Calls To Itself?
i'm sure that title sounds very confusing...

well i'm very confused

so i'm creating a portfolio flash movie. in this movie there is an empty movie clip i use for loading the main sections called content_clip.mc

now at some point content.mc is filled with a portfolio section(portfolio_mc) which has a empty movie clip called holder_big
so bascially WE ARE HERE

_root.content_clip_mc.portfolio_mc.holder_big

now i'm doing a loadMovie call to replace holder_big with an external swf.
holder_big.loadMovie("samples/sample_ten.swf");

this swf (sample_ten.swf)has a bunch of nested movie clips just like the portfolio swf and it's buttons make calls to it's timeline from inside these nested movie clips

ie:
on(press){
_root.nexusClip_mc.sectionSwitch ("sec2");
_root.sectionChoice = "menu";
}

now if i load this movie clip up in a level in portfolio_mc...these calls all seem to work. BUT I need to load it into holder_big because holder_big is in the right position and it is being masked and i'm also scaling the loaded movie down to fit via some script that is dependant on the holder_big MC.

the problem is when i load it up into the holder(holder_big) none of the button calls work.

Do I have to change the dot.path of the button calls in the loaded swf, if so any ideas as to what?
Or is there something else i'm missing.

hope this is explained well enough
thanks for any help

Embedding Fonts Slows Down The Movie
Hi,

I have a problem with a site I'm putting together.

I want to use an embedded font, but only so I can display the content of the site in a font that the end-user might not have on their machine. I don't need any of the other abilities that using an embedded font on text boxes gives me.

As soon as I use an embedded font, my site slows down to a crawl (I have a scrolling text box displaying a large amount of content). If I go back to using non-embedded fonts everything is fine speed-wise, but then my site will be displayed in ugly Times New Roman if the user doesn't have the font I've specified.

I hope I'm missing something really obvious here! Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
