Just need a bit of guidance. This is my portfolio site My images are loading in very slowly. I'm loading them in with a UILoader component for more functionality and my code is below. Also the images look a bit distorted. Does anyone see anything wrong with the code or maybe my server godaddy account is running slow.
var myImage:String = "images/showcase.jpg";
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myImage);
showImg.scaleContent = true;
Flash CS4published with AS2.0Flash Player 10The movie is 15FPS, and lasts about 16 seconds total.With about 40 Vector images that are constantly, coming into the screen and leaving the screen - and when they're doing that they're also fading in and fading out, and resizing. so a lot is happening on the screen... then after the 15 images or so are done swirling around, they all come in for the grand finale and this is really where it bogs down... All of them, as I said are vector images published as .swfs from Illustrator (if I tried .ai files or anything else it was tons worse). The movie just completely bogs down, and goes very very slowly - I'm assuming this has to do with the computer trying to draw all the vector images as they are resizing, fading, and moving - etc.
The reason my client wants vector images is because of the clarity - Is there anyway to retain the clarity of these resizing images, but reducing the load on the client side so it doesn't slow down??Also - while I'm here - I should probably look elsewhere, but anyone know of a quick way to expand my movie say from 16 seconds to 24 seconds? Keeping all the same animations but just slowing it down slightly so it's not so fast without redoing everything
I have a Wordpress website located here: http:[url]....I'm trying to figure out why the page loads slow - I'm almost sure it has to do with Flash and size of images, plus rotating banner. I don't know how to edit or fix the problem though. So the question is: What is causing my website to load slow, and what EXACT steps can I take to fix the problem.I've already tried adjusting some of the browser ActiveX filters and other temp fixes, but that is not the proper solution. If this is a flash or image loading issue, can you tell me the EXACT step in how to edit these issues?
I'm loading XML cross domain and it works but it's really slow, or sometimes it never load...
Code: system.usecodepage=false; c = new XML(); t = new LoadVars();
[Code].....
how can i make sure that the XML is loaded everytime?! Sometimes I have to click the link in flash to reload the page that shows the XML to get the XML to load...
Somehow through tons of research I've been able to make myself a flash website which features my work. There is one big problem, my site loads really slow and I'm afraid I'm loosing all of my potential clients who probably won't wait for it to load.
Here's my website url: [URL]
I'm hosting with hostgator if that matters at all, I've also optimized the images.
This is really weird and I have no idea what could be causing this.I have this simple Flash site:
http:[url]....The main interface is loaded, and then it starts to preload a few external JPG images.The problem is that with IE it is taking about FOUR times (or even more) the time to load the same pictures with FF. In a slow connection such as a 128K the main interface takes the same time to load either on FF aswel IE - about 5-10 seconds. Then, it starts loading the external pictures - in FF it will take about 20 seconds more and in IE it will take about 80 seconds more. It is clear to me that the problem is not in the site loading itself, but in the contents loading. I can't see what in the browser could be interfering in the SWF, unless that the IE Flash plugin have some known (or unknown!) bug regarding to MovieClipLoader!
The only thing I can have in mind, is that I am not terminating the listeners in the onLoadComplete events, so theoretically they would be keeping the CPU busy even after the pictures finish to load (I spawn about 30 listeners, one for each picture). However, I doubt that this is the reason or else it would make FF slow down too, indeed? Also I noticed that when running the application in the authoring environment (control+ENTER) but loading contents from remote server, it have the same behavior as when loaded within IE (slow loading).
I am building a website entirely out of flash. I know thats not a great idea, but it is not the biggest website in the world, however it does contain seven or eight .sws that take some time to load.When I test the website via a cable connection (T1), the speed of opening the website is not bad, but on DSL pretty slow.I dot want to turn people away from my site how can I make sure my flash site doest load that slow? Ie read somewhere that if you put all the .Ss into one master file it could make the site load faster.seen some flash websites that are big and their files load
We have installed Flash Media Server on a Linux machine.It has 2GB of RAM,Fedora 9 with kernel 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686, the install required a few packages (compat-expat1 was one) to be installed before we saw the sample page. The sample page takes a few minutes to load and opening the page to connect to the admin console is about the same.
This is currently on our internal network while we try and see how it works. Are there any specifc TCP related kernel tuning parameters (eg in sysctl.conf) which need to be put in place over and above the out-of-box configuration. Any troubleshooting hints which might identify the problem. The install seemed ok nothing in /var/log/messages and checking to see what is running (ps aux | grep fms) I see
but when we clear our browser cache and go to a page it is taking forever.It is taking about 5 minutes to open up the initial page, but when it is open the videos all seem to come through fine.The server previously had apache on it but I removed that copy and went with the version included with FMS.
I've got a basic dynamic XML gallery on my website and I noticed that thumbnails in the gallery do not load on slow internet connections. They load only when I enter the gallery for a second time. The debug flash player doesn't throw any errors. Is there maybe some loader property that allows longer timeout for the loader to finish loading?
I'm creating an application where the user uses the Arrow Keys to navigate around the menus and Spacebar to continue. On the first screen is the main menu that launches external swf's. (I have it as an exe). When I play the external swfs individually in the Flash Player.......the navigation is perfect and runs smoothly. But when I launch the external swf's through the first screen (menu).....the loaded swf becomes very slow/sluggish to react when I hit the Arrow Keys. (E.g. have to hit the arrow key 3/4 times before it moves). The frame rate in each fla is the exact same. I use the levels to launch the external swf. I have also used the "load into an empty movieclip" and the outcome is still the same. I'm using CS5.
In terms of performance, does loading .swfs into a flash movie have any implications. I've been experimenting with loading complex swfs into a simple movie and the complex .swf seems to perform a lot slower within the .swf than as a standalone. The host movie has no other funcitonality other than as a simple container. Is it in general terms better not to load .swfs into a movie but to code everything inside 1 movie ?
Explaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.
im loading multiple images but how do I make sure the program will start once all images have dispatched a complete event. like make a universal loader for all the other "small loaders" if you understand.
I need to load dynamically a few images (4-6) so that by clicking on particular image user would invoke particular action. Embedding images solves the problem but at the expense of file size. If I load them dynamically, they lose their ID.
I have typical situation where big loop is loading lots of images and its done asynchronous which make browser to frees during loading and I want to make it synchronous but having big trouble doing it. I found this class synchronous loader and it work great but you cant add mouse event listener to loader. Here is sample code:
I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
I am loading images of different size and then images are scaled and border is drawn for each image as shown in below link,[URL]... I want that border of images to be of the same width and height and for that I need to find out the max width and height size image before loading all the images. Is there any way that I can know the width and height of an image before loading it completely?
I am trying to import some images into flash using an XML file. My XML file seems to load fine, and my code seems to find the URL of the images to load. However when I actually try to load the images into my Loader nothing. This is my code that is relevant:
----------------- public var xml:XML; public var xmlList:XMLList; public var imageLoader:Loader;
[Code].....
So as you can see my xml file is loading, my URLRequest seems to be finding the image path and filename (the paths are correct and those files are located there) however my imageLoader doesnt seem to actually load them .
I have an fla which is loading images from an XML, then the images start scrolling , but when it arrives at the last images, I want it to loop back from th first images, like a never ending scrolling..
I have a flash site, which uses XML to load an image gallery, but it cant find the images on the server even though they are there. It works fine locally.In firebug, each image is listed in the net tab as found, but when you click on it, there is an error message..Plus an error page is listed for each of the images.If you click on one of the other button's in the gallery strip on the site, it tries to find Freeola's (my host) 'crossdomain.xml' file which doesn't seen to be there, could this be a cause?
I have a webpage created in flash which uses xml to load specific gallerys into movie clips. Everything works fine in preview, but when uploaded it doesn't work. When you click on film or any of the other galleries, the galley does not load. I don't know whether this has something to do with the hosting or not. I'm only begining to use xml so my knowledge is quite limited. The website adress is below. I've also attached my action script.
I am pretty familiar with ActionScript 3, but I have a question. I will create a flash application that will display a 5,000 panel comic. I could load the files from my server, but it would result in 500MB being needed to download. Is there a more effecient way to do this, and if so, how?
I have a movieclip, which moves around as you move the cursor. This is called "layout".Inside this movieclip, i have ALOT of smaller movieclips, around 100 i think.These movieclips all have different measurements, and different instance names, and placed differently around the stage. To keep track of them all, ive devided them into 8 "groups". Movieclips from the first group are named "g01_i01", "g01_i02", "g01_i03" all the way to "g01_i27". Movieclips from group 2 are named "g02_i01", "g02_i02", to "g02_i11"... - I think you get the picture.Then i have 8 folders with my images devided into aswell. These are called "gallery01", "gallery02" to "gallery08". The images inside the folders are named similar to eachother. "img01.jpg", "img02.jpg" to "img27.jpg" in the "gallery01" folder, but only to "img11.jpg" in "gallery02".Im really trying to make the structure clear.
Ive tried loading all these images into my flash movie just by using actionscript, but it bugs alot. I dont know if its just me who cant manage it, or because its simply not the best way to do it.So i figured that loading them in via XML might be the real way to go. Only problem is, i have never used XML, and have no idea how do use it. Tried looking through a couple of tutorials, but its still too complicated for me to actually make it work with my project.It simply has to load the images from all the folders, into their specific movieclips. No discriptions of the images, no thumbanils or anything. Just simply load all the images.
I have an XML driven Mp3 player and I want it to load a different image for each song. How do I link it in? My loader is named "photo_loader".I was thinking I could use: photo_loader.contentPath = photo; but it failed
i have a movie clip that serves as a box for loading external images from a determined folder. The image size is 713 x 299 as well as the movie clip. However, when it loades the images they are smaller than their normal size.
var portafolio:Array=new Array(); portafolio[1]="fotos2/image1.swf"; portafolio[2]="fotos2/image2.jpg"; portafolio[3]="fotos2/image3.jpg";
I am using the Casousel3 tutorial and getting some cool effects but would like to make some mods - but don't really have the knowledge it seems to do them. I have tried but only succeeded in creating a rather nice white screen. I would like to be able to bring in the images via xml at 75% their original size so that when i click them I can enlarge them too 100% (part where the text comes in - have sorted the enlarging) and not get any pixelisation appearing. I would also like to be able to preload the images as they are loading (with that swirl loading graphic if possible !?)
I have searched the threads and have seen a few examples of what I am trying to do. I am wanting to load images (thumbnails) onto a page from images in a dir. (they can be predefined as for name) The thumbnails on my page will change everyweek, and going in and changing all of them in the SWF file seems to be not the best use of time. The gatcha to all this is: I am not Flash savy. I have a designer develope the site for me, and he has kinda left me high and dry, and is asking a VERY large amount of money to make this change for me.
I am making a flash site of all of my lingerie that I sell. There are over 200 pictures that amount to over 20 Mb. I would like to know if placing these images externally would be better than trying to put them in the flash movie file?
I need to know how to get flash to load an image on the web and replace the an object with whatever instance name, with that image.The url to these images
