This Took Me Forever… Tell Me What You Think. Its My First Movie In Flash…I Only Used Those Lines To Make It. Here Is The Link… [www.angelfire.com/art2/aebuddy/3daebuddy.swf](http://www.angelfire.com/art2/aebuddy/3daebuddy.swf) Should I Put It On My Site For An Intro? [www.aebuddy.com](http://www.aebuddy.com) It May Take A While To Load. ---

Im on a T3 line and it’s taking quite a bit of time…you may want to add a preloader or somthing to your movie to keep visitors entertained while they wait. ---

I let it load all the way, and the swf file ended up to be a hair over 6 megs. Check out your publishing settings. ---

That took way too long to load dude, and Im assuming its because of the music. In the future keep file size in mind, because it is a major factor in how good your stuff is. PS - I like the music, but the line animations dont have much of a point to them. ---

Just don’t make your stuff that big, plain and simple. But if you absolutely have to for some reason, put a preloader on it yeah. ---

twice as big? and i bet NOONE goes to them on a regular basis… that sort of crap is a download once and watch twenty times on your own comp thing… not a website thing… ---

Files of that size are completely unheard of in sites. Like mehoo said, maybe if you are gonna watch something like a cool Flash animation, but repeated viewing of something like that just doesnt happen. ---

That music has to go my friend. I know you’re going for a certain effect, but that is far too long to load EVEN on broad band. Took me three minutes on my DSL. I don’t think that anyone will wait that long. I’ll see about those loops I was talking about… Now that I know what sort of music you’re looking for for the page, I may be able to throw a loop or two together for you. That will do a lot to decrease the size of the file. ---

hey my man… listen… you gotta think of having to put some shorter music… cuz no one should spend over a minute watching or listening to an intro unless it’s fukin good… so tell you what… i’m assuming that you r using an mp3 song… so if you are… go ahead and download an mp3 splitter… makes everyfile of yours much smaller!! i can give you my example to look @… i created this site for the first time for some company… and i added also an intro (for the first time.) but the MP3 splitter helped alot! and even though it waqs about 126kb or some… i added a preloader for those who even have a 14kb/s connections (i’m exagerating… LOL) check it out: [members.home.net/kkltd/services/](http://members.home.net/kkltd/services/) FYI: for those who are wondering why the site is incomplete, its because i kept only the preview version of it online…
