Re: FLASH: Flash presentation on a CD

[Michael Penne]

No, it shouldn't take anywhere near that long to

load. For some reason its not streaming? You have

the images loaded into keyframes? You are

unloading the previous moive when you load the

new one? What does the bandwidth profiler on the

published swfs look like? Do you have a large

file in a movie clip on the first frame (MCs have

to load completly, they don't stream).

Don't forget to get info and boost the memory of

the player (why does nearly _every_ mac SW

developer seem to set the 'recommended' memory

setting for their apps. too low for

stability?!?). PS, when was the last time you

de-fragged the drive? (I've found publishing

large swfs nearly as fragging as rendering video

or 3D, and a highly fragged drive can result in

significant performance decreases).


Its best to start the first few frames with

lightweight graphics, section title, etc rather

than a heavy graphic, but that shouldn't cause

the kind of load times you are going through.

Does it help if you use jpegs instead of PNGs? 


Our load times were ~20second for the first

section (~2mb) and less than that for the others

off of the _CD_, off the HD it was much faster.
