Flex :: Make Web Application Load Faster?
Feb 24, 2011
I made a Flex 4 web application. Upon testing locally, I already got satisfied at how it looks like. However, the swf's file size grew to around 6mb in size so when I uploaded it to my website and viewed it, it takes forever to load on a computer with quite slow internet connection. So my question is, how do I make it load faster? Should I:
separate it into chunks? If so how do I do it.
not put the embedded images inside the SWF but instead, store it outside in a folder? If so, how do I make it load on the background while the user is interacting with the primarily loaded parts of the web app?

I'm pretty new/bad at actionscript (3) for web. I have a site up for a client/friend [URL], but it takes FOREVER to load. I'm under the impression that a good way to make the site load faster is to load in swf's externally. Right now, the site, in its entirety, is one big movieclip. I have large images (movieclips) for background images. If you look at the site and are kind enough to wait for it to load (aprox. 45 seconds or so) you will notice how the background image changes when you click to go to each section.
I am trying to find a way to load in the background as external .swf's to cut down on the initial load time. I'm also open to any other ideas. Below is the as3 code for my buttons/how they direct the site. I'm hoping to use a similar/generic style to load the background images. I'm hoping to load the movieclips underneath the rest of the site, and use the same naming scheme (e.g. homeBTN.swf) to keep it organized.

I've created a flash interface with action script and the whole shebang for the web. It takes hours to load and I've seen sites with even more pictures and information load faster. I've compressed all my pictures and implemented various UI loaders to spread the load time out but it still takes a while. Does anybody have any tips and tricks to make my flash load faster?

I am building a website of songs library using flex, I have made an mxml file for each page, for example the home page, albums listing page, album details page, search result page and so on. I want to know how would I link them all together, for example on the home page there will be some featured albums when I click on an album am supposed to go to the swf file of the album details same if am clicking on an album from the search result page.I've checked the Adobe Flex Help and found the SWFLoader Control but I understood that it's intended for loading swf files that add graphics or animations but not for something that will have user interaction and in my case there will be user interaction like for example in the album page users can add comments, review comments added by other users, rate the album, buy it and so on.

I want to load a flex application in mobile flex application and also i want it to interact with the parent application. Right now I am trying to load the swf with swfLoader in mobile app, but it gives me security error. And also should I want the parent application to be generic in terms of child application as in down the line if someone wants he can have another child application with same name run.

I've created a client with login acces in Flex. After the succesful login i have to show a table based on a mySQL server. The database is composed by some tables, and I have created 6 flex mxml components with each own scripts for each of those tables. How can i load sub-applications, for example with a PopUpButton or a TabBar in the main application?

My question is, does a better, faster CPU necessarily equal faster SWF compile times? Or does it rely on something else (OS, memory, etc). I only use AS3 and some of my projects take a while to compile. If certain hardware can guarantee me a faster compile time, it'd be worth including those things in my shopping list.

I can make a normal preloader, with a bar and percent shown and so on... But I want to make a little thing in the middle of the preloader that rotates faster and faster when the percent loaded goes up. This is what I thought would work:

i've been kinda notified about loading external SWF's into a main time line and then some how positioning them where they are suppose to be. But heres my problem. My site is set up much more different then the typical flash website. the
ActionScript Code: gotoAndPlay(50) to go the certain links isn't on the main time. Its actually in a movie clip on the main page that when you click expands out and you can hover over/out of the links and all they do is show a little bit of content. I'e looked at what has the most MB's and it is my background. Just because it is very large. like 22 INches large. (It is scrollable with the mouse) But the background stays constantly there through out the whole time the user is on my website. How would I make this site load much faster. It takes like 5 mins to load my website.

I am doing this interactive display for school and I have 2 .swf games and 5 .swf movies or animations. My animations are loading ok and so are my games. However, when clicking the buttons to navigate through the whole interactive journey, the games will not go off of the screen. I have tried searching for codes, making up codes, and unloading the games, but nothing works! Also, I have to have the fps set at 12 for the games but I also have an interactive quiz, and with the fps at 12 you have to click the next button like 5 times to get it to slow down! Is there a way to make the time for one .swf faster then the others?

for (var i = 0 ; i < 10000000; i++) ;stop();I've placed this code in frame 1 of a flash app. As you can see it does nothing but count to 10,000,000. This takes about 20 seconds to execute.
In C#.NET, this one line runs over 400 times faster. It can count to one billion in less time. Why? I could see it being faster in C#, but what could possibly be going on under the hood that could make it 400 times slower in AS, given that the one line should reduce to just a few machine instructions?
(If you're wondering, I've been tasked with porting some C# code to ActionScript. The code has some scientific calculations in it. But in AS they run so slow that it is unusable. This is the most basic example of the problem.)

i have a mobile application that i am attempting to use to load an interactive .swf file. At first, i was just going to use the .mxml applications from my other project file in flex, but they're for desktop apps and running on Flex 3.6, and Mobile apps can't be built on less than 4.5 :P
so, i figured i'd export the first project to a .swf, and load it in my mobile application, but nothing i do will get it to show up. anyone know a solution?

I have an AIR app about half way done right now. I was informed by the client today that he does not want a tab to show up in his task bar. I already have this in place for new windows by making them lightweight. I do not know how to make the main window lightweight though. If there is not a way, is there a work around, like not not having a main window and just opening lightweight windows, don't know how that could be done either though?

I don't know if I can do what I want in flex, so imagine this in ASP: I have an aspx page that loads a Login.ascx control, the control checks if login is correct, and if so the aspx page loads the XXX.ascx control (so there is only one control visible).
I want to do more or less the same in Flex: I have the main application with the code that connects to the database, check the login, and if its correct it loads a new module. I have made everything until the module load, I mean, I have the main application (Login.mxml) associated to a Login.as, and a Module.mxml associated to a Module.as. When the user press the login button (in Login.mxml), a method is fired and checks the login. If it is correct, it shows the new module.
My problem is that it is shown in the same page that the login page, instead of "changing" the page. I have used two ways to do that: ModuleLoader and PopUpManager, and both load the new module in the same page.
QUESTION: How can I load, inside an application, a Flex module in a different page?

Open a video file embedded in the application.open some pdf files, preferably embedded in the application, but if it will have to open externally, it's no problem.Work in fullscreen on the user computer, with a minimum resolution of 1024x768. I'm thinking about a resolution of 1024x768, centered on a black background.
I was thinking of using Flash, but I don't have much experience, so if there is another easier IDE that creates a Flash application, I would prefer that.
