Re: FLASH: optimizing flashmovies

[Cheri Harder]

The best tools are within the Flash authoring environment (in fact, the only

tools that I'm aware of) and those are these:


The "test movie" menus:

    View...Bandwidth profiler

            ...Streaming Graph

            ...Frame-by-Frame Graph

    Control...Show Streaming


and the "publish settings":

    Flash tab...Generate Size Report


Those are the best places to see where any hold-ups are and to see how long

to make a "preload" of information until the rest of your movie will stream

with no gaps.  I especially like the Size Report - you can catch all kinds

of things there, like using one little letter of a font you forgot to change

somewhere will add to your file size.


And the "show streaming" is invaluable to those of us lucky enough to be on

cable connections...brings back the real world when you have to sit and wait

at 28.8...
