Re: FLASH: request for comments

hi tai

 

i mean your animations are slow are jerky - you may want to play around with the frame rate and add in a few frames...

the loadtime was good but then we've got a pretty quick connection :o)

 

dunno about the bitmap thing - it may be worth a try

 

remember that if you don't want users resizing the client window, make sure you specify the size of the flash window... i was running your movie in full screen because your flash parameters are set to 100% client width.

Hi Gavin,

 

When you say slow do you mean the animations are slow or the loadtime?

 

it's all done in flash (no bitmaps), I have been thinking about changing the orange thing to a bitmap to see if it will animate any quicker (seems like it has to animate all the different symbols that I used to create it and so it is a bit jerky) that's the reason I have it displaying in a small window cause otherwise everyone that looks at the site would need cray to run it fullscreen

 

cheers

Tai :)

impressive but slow - have you imported any bitmaps? that adds a lot to file size when you tween them

Hi Everyone,

 

I did a redesign of my site over the weekend and am looking for comments about it.

 

http://www.taidesign.com

 

also I am a bit puzzled by the size of the movie... all other movies that I have created by duplicating symbols the movie size would stay almost exactly the same however with this movie it isn't quite like that... all the symbols are small, however the frame bytes are what makes up all of the size of the movie, can anyone explain what frame bytes are? an example of one of my problems, I have a symbol which is the shadow under the redish orangeish thing, I put this into a movie symbol and tweened the alpha and suddenly my movie size had gone from 95k to 114k

 

cheers

Tai :)
