i’ve got a question regarding the speed and sharpness of motion tweens. In my movie I have 30 scenes, each with the same motion tween to begin each scene. All scenes are active with buttons and I’ve noticed that when I call upon scenes which are towards the end of the movie (eg scenes 20-30) the tweens don;t respond as quick and are not as sharp as they are for scenes 1- 15, even though the tween is exactly the same.
is there a way to mainatain consistency through the movie or a way to minimize scene numbers.
IM not too sure on the tweening side of things, dnt know why the tweens slow down, but what i will wonder is why are you using scenes? Are u planning on using this for the web, or make a flash cd or sumin?
The problem with scenes is, once you upload ur flash movie, it is going to upload the entire flash file. Therfore it wil take a long time.
Now if you use the load movie command, and load external swf’s into an empty movieclip, first you reduce upload time, and you wont receive those tweening problems =)
If you dnt know how to use the load movie, check this thread out!!
Wow 30 scenes!? I’m not sure, but maybe that’s the cause of the inconsistency, why don’t combine it into one timeline and use stop actions to seperate each section for example scene 1 would be frames 1-20, place a stop action on frame 20 then frames 21-40 would be scene 2 and so on…
And to target these scenes, you would use frame labels and have your buttons target the frame labels.
Using less scenes would reduce your file size too. =)
yeh i’m still learning so i still not sure of the best way to do things.
with the load movie option, if my load movie is say 70k i’m gonna get a slight pause for the load up before it comes in, so I figure if its all in the one SWF with 1 main loadup in the beginning, everything will flow nice smooth, but it’s obviously not the case…
Yes there’s going to be a pause, but that’s why there’s preloaders. You can add a preloader to each swf so when you load it in, a preloader will appear showing the load progress instead of a blank pause. Check the tutorial section of this site for preloaders.
even though theres 30 scenes the file size is still low considering the content involved and i’m al ready using 4 different load movie SWF’s. If the only way to make it run smoother is to reduce the scenes into load movies with pre-loaders then i’m looking at approx another 12 load movies and then appearance of the site changing drastically.
