I need this to live

Okay, so I decided that my flash site would load it’s sections on into empty movie clips on top of the main movie using loadMovie/unloadMovie.
The .swfs are between 3KB and 55KB, no bigger. But still they load VERY VERY slowly after uploaded to the server compared to the main movie which is actually larger.

WHY WHY WHY?
Of course it works fine on the computer when making them… Anyone?

And here is an example of the load/unloadMovie scripts that are linked to the section buttons on the main menu (this one to the Anime section)

on (release) {
gotoAndStop(16);
_root.navigate.loadMovie(“NavAnime.swf”);
_root.contents.loadMovie(“AnimeBox.swf”);
}

You can see the site here:

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN??
Is it my host?

thanx,

a little sluggish here - I’ve seen worse tho… probably the fade in is very processor intense esp. with the semi transparency on the navPanels and the movement in the background slowing the reDraw speed, too many tweens and fades simultaniously can be harsh

can’t be too sure without a file to see (?)

i’m with RelandR on this one.

I like your site very much, especially like the circle style shape in the background :toad:

Well then, I really dont want to get rid of the transparancies in the text boxes and the fade-ins, but I had heard this before about other sites. I thought I had used not as much as they did. My computer’s probably too fast for me to notice any of that sluggishness.

I’ll make the transparency/fade in changes and see if that helps first before posting a file(s). I doubt it’s the files themselves, even though I had made them originally in Flash 5. I use MX now but the loadMovie function is still the same, right?

AND I’m glad you like the site deamothul.:stuck_out_tongue:

did you tried to notch up the FPS ?

Hey Guig0,
thanks for the suggestion. I use a 24 fps rate, which is fine enough… so far.

BUT, I checked the site today and it worked perfectly! For no apparent reason. Smooth as can be.

I think the problem lies with my host. It acts up every now and then. Now I can’t find any concrete reason why I have-I mean had- problems.

We’ll see if it keeps running smooth in a day or so.
