Slow To Load Up (3-5 Minutes) When Visit The Site?
Jul 11, 2009
My problem is this: I built a Flash website, but it is painfully slow to load up (3-5 minutes) when I visit the site (via Firefox, etc). Once it does load up, everything is fine with navigation, etc. I'm having a hard time figuring out why its taking so long to load up on the web because, basically, I don't know how to trouble shoot.Details: the site is just a portfolio site with pictures and a few motion-things, no complicated animations. The swf file is about 9MB. I do have a flash preloader, but it doesn't show up until after the 3-5 minute "load-up" time. When I do the testing via Flash, its Ok and doesn't show the lag. But once I upload the website files and try to visit my website, the load time problem occurs.My thoughts: do I have to purge my Flash file/library of unused images before creating my swf file? Is there a problem with my html code in my index fil Just in case, here is the html code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

how i would go about only preloading / making mc's animate in ONLY on first visit to the site
i have a banner where i want to animate the logo, but only on first visit, as it will get annoying if it does it every time they navigate to another page
im aware its probably something to do with cookies, but have no idea how i would go about doing this

I have a swf animation that plays a sound on the main home page. People are happy to hear the sound upon first entering the website but it starts to get annoying after that (people go to different pages on the site then come back to the home page).
Just wondering what would be a good way to do this? I can set it up so that he same swf file is used on every webpage.
I understand that I could do a cookie or something like it/ session variable, but is that over kill? Can I do something via actionscript / the swf by itself?

I tried searching this but could not find. I am complete newbie to flash intro and I bought a Flash Intro template.At the end of the flash movie, i was able to auto-redirect the page to my homepage by using getURL function but what I am looking for is that:At the end of the movie there should be two buttons:"Replay Intro" and "Visit Homepage" so that visitor can click on replay to see intro again or click on visit homepage which will take him to homepage.

recently i am working on my portfolio which I am doing in flash cs4, as3. It runs fine on local machine but when i upload it into the server, it runs very slow. in face there is a section where pictures are loaded when a thumbnail is clicked. There are 15 pictures and it doesnot opens at all.
following is the link to the site that I have done so far[URL].. please click on the "projects" to look at the problem I am mentioning. the section"3d modeling is the part where there are 15 pictures and doesnot load at all. same problem with "3d animation" "video editing" works fine. it may be because it has just one video to load.

I am working on my new portfolio, made entirely in AS3. I am well aware that it is quite graphic heavy, and the videos will slow down some of the other animations. What I can't seem to figure out is: why does it load fine initially, but once I click around to various sections previous sections seem to be slower and slower. When i refresh the site it runs quickly again (except in FF on a PC, thats another issue I'm working out). Is it simply just a memory issue? Aside from getting rid of videos/rasterized images, does anyone have any tricks as to how to get it to run smoother? Seems to me that if each section runs fine initially, but only run slow once different sections are loaded then perhaps there is a solution. [URL]

I was just wondering if anyone could help me to figure this out - I'm afraid I'm really not sure what the problem is so I'll try to be as specific as I can, if you need me to provide any extra info then just ask.Basically I have a fla file -the menu of my game- that loads external swf files (the various game modes) when the user clicks a button. I can get everything loaded in fine, but it runs at a snails pace and occassionally generates errors (mainly caused by the game mode calling removeChild()) that don't happen when the 'game modes' are run as stand-alone swf files.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I remove almost all listeners from the menu before I run the game modes, so there's almost nothing that could be using up processor power that's needed for the game - it's a pretty basic game anyway so it shouldn't be processor-intensive to my computer anyway. I've spotted a few other topics similar to this, but they're either not answered or the solution doesn't fit what I'm trying to do.

We've been trying every trick to fix a problem with long lag time in video startup in some environments. In particular, there's a long time gap between the time the custom .swf skin appears and the video starts to play. Only some combinations of OS for the FMS server and client browser shows the problem, but for those combinations it is consistent and appears to be a constant of approximately 59 seconds, regardless of the length of .mp4 or number of times played in our custom .swf. (Our .swf accepts a supplied file location for the .mp4 to stream.)
On our main server (Win2008R2), we run a virtual machine that has Win2008R2 installed. If you click on the video URL from a Mac Safari browser on MacBookPro, the load is FAST (a few seconds). On the other hand if you click from IE on any Windows machine (VM or native, Win7 or WinX), the load is SLOW (one minute). If you try locally on the server virtual machine with the FMS and web server (IIS) installed, the load is also SLOW. The reference flash video (i.e. NOT through our .swf) loads FAST. [code]...

I only changed the size from 34 x 34 to 10 x 10. Everything else remained the same. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but it literally takes almost a minute to load/publish preview. One other thing. I have it on the very first layer. I have some simple text on top and it doesn't show. My expertiese in AS is vast. I know enought AS to make a button.

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'm developing a little site for a friend. Though the filesize is v. small and it seems to load quickly, there is a delay playing. There are many objects duplicated in AS so undoubtedly this is the problem, but is there any way of initializing them so that the delay is slower? I'm using flash cs3.

I have a strange problem that I was hoping someone might resolve. I'm a new visitor to the Flash world from other development platforms, so the language seems pretty straightforward, but I have now spent a week and a half on this one bug.
Basically, I'm trying to play an F4V using an FLVPlayback component. However, it seems that the video only plays if the f4v is already in the client cache. If the cache is empty, or disabled, then the FLVPlayback component throws an Error 1000, which seems to suggest it's having trouble connecting/pulling the video off the server. But since it does work on the second visit, then I suspect that it does indeed perform the download -- it just THINKS it can't. [code]...

I can't seem to load a swf from another domain. I'm not doing this from another flash file or anything. Just a page on SiteB.com trying to load a swf to display on SiteA.com. That flash file on SiteA.com does load an xml file from SiteA.com though using the full path to the xml file (domain and all). This is my crossdomain.xml file that has been placed on the main level of the domain:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

i am making a website that has several main swf files that navigate to each other via links (nobody's loading anybody). all of them have external preloaders. i have a nice intro, about a minute long at the start of the homepage.
what i need to do is make the intro play only on the first entry to the site, and not when you reach it from the site's other pages. it's about either detecting first entry, or making the other pages pass a variable to the homepage. but i dont have the slightest idea how to do it...
because they have no physical connection, communication between them, i think it should be something like opening and changing a text file each time you enter a page, that the other pages would read. and this works for one user, but how to make it work for 60+ users at once?
and if you need some ip logging program written in some other language (i dont know any other) that creates unique values for each user, how to tell flash to read a specific file it creates? somehow based on the ip of the system the swf is played at?

I have a website that consists of 3 pages - About, Services, Contacts (every page is a separate html file). I have the same flash movie embed to every page (animated header intro). I want flash intro to play once and then stop. User can browser through these 3 pages, but flash shouldn't play anymore. Only if user closes the whole website (a browser, or a tab) the flash should refresh, and after user enters the website again it will play again once and stop.

I'm having trouble getting my swf to load its xml data on a site. It seems like the swf is properly embedded if only for the fact that I can click on the invisible link it has to another part of the site. However, the rest of the slideshow won't start online but does locally. I've checked to see if relative or absolute references are the problem and it doesn't seem to change anything.[URL]

winning designer, went about building a portfolio website. He left for Vermont and me hanging. When loaded, in browser, it will not start automatically and load the first page. When I load it up in Flash CS5.5, and preview it does not work at all, I think it is something to do with finding swf in the location. Oh, and one other thing the components that make up my portfolio works it just the main page. SO, the question is where did I do wrong? [URL] code for the main page
