High cpu use in flahs movies?

Hi I´ve been fiddling with flash for a while no expert in any way. My problem is a site I´m making for some buddies of mine and it´s makes my cpu usage go skyrocket when I surf to the site. Any suggestions why, I´m using .swf files and some javascript.

Looks like it coz you have so many alpha tweens with images.

Your buttons seem to have a lot going on inside them. As you are trying to move them all at the same time over an image, things will grind down.

When you click a button and the line appears then grows. If you made it a solid box first then animate the logo come in and so on, it might speed things up.

Also [not that it has much to do with it] what FPS are you on? Only it looked a bit choppy besides the CPU problem.

I think the main thing is that you are trying to animate too much in a short space of time.

Err what??

It´s in 12 fps

It is far better to TINT tween than ALPHA tween any day of the week. Problem is, to tint you have to have a solid color under the object you are about to tint. As you have an image under them, you have to alpha tween.

Moving objects over an image is also bad coz it is having to re-draw a complicated image, so moving multiple objects over an image is worse.

The list goes on…

Thx alot I unloaded the background pic before moving on to the nav.swf it did the trip. To bad would´ve been nice if it could´ve been there.

Thx mate!!!

Anytime
