Need to reduce size...have tried everything

I finally figured out most of the details and got my site to a shell of what I want it. However, on slower internet connections it takes a long time to load. When I was at school, it loaded right up, but at home it takes a good full minute or so.
I have optimized every vector and image I can. What else can I do? I dont understand why it takes so long to load.
Here is the site as it stands:

let me know what yout think

Hi there,
Tara wrote an article on this over on FlashCats:

As Chris mentioned, linking your images (rather than embedding them) will probably significantly decrease load time. It looks like you've probably embedded every image in your portfolio, which will add to your swf size.

  • Help desperately needed - missing SMS icon - have tried EVERYTHING!

    Hello
    Thank you for taking the time to read this.
    For no apparent reason, about a week ago the SMS icon on my BlackBerry Curve 8900 completely disappeared.  In addition, now when my phone boots up, a message appears stating ’Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException’
    I have tried finding a solution online, and have attempted to do all the suggested fixes including:
    - Pulling the battery out while phone is still on, and then reinserting
    - Using the ‘Show All’ option
    - Changing Themes
    - Choosing to SEPARATE in Messages options
    I can view some of my SMS messages by : Messages folder > View Folders > SMS Messages  However, many of my recent SMS messages are missing from here.  And when I send test SMS messages to that device from another phone, not all of them are received!  In addition – and MORE IMPORTANTLY (to me) – when I try to view my saved SMS messages by : Messages folder > View Folders > Saved Messages   only about 10 saved messages appear; when in fact there should be nearer 100!
    Without getting too sentimental, many of my saved SMS messages were from people who are unfortunately no longer in my life, and I want to be able to read them again.  I could not bear for them to be lost forever.  I really hope someone can help me with this.
    Thanks so much in advance for any help or advice you can offer – very gratefully received.

    The only way to get your SMS icon back is to reload your OS using BlackBerry Desktop Software. I can't guarantee you'll get all your messages back but at least you'll have the icon from which to view your messages.
    To reload your OS, plug your phone in to your PC and open BlackBerry Desktop Software. Once your phone has connected to the software, click Device at the top of the software then click Backup and Restore. Do a data backup. When the backup has been done, follow the same path I suggested but this time at Backup and Restore click Restore and load the backup file you just created. This will restore your SMS icon.
    Let us know if that helps you.

  • I can not get Firefox to reset to normal size. I have tried everything including reinstalling it. Only some webpages like Facebook are large & it will not reset but in IE it is normal. Please help because I hate IE & really do not want to use it!

    When I open Facebook and a few other webpages the screen size is large and some of the info will not appear. I have tried everything to reset the size and it does not work. I have even zoomed out and the missing info still does not appear. But if I log into IE it is just fine and all the info is there and is useable. I hate IE and do not want to use it so please help me fix this issue with Firefox.

    CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.

    SMS is a carrier feature, what did your phone carrier say when you contacted them about your issue?
    Double check you have MMS turn on in message settings.

  • I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app.  I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind.  I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.

    I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app.  I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind.  I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.  I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library.  I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it.  Please help!

    Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
    From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
    Select Library from the drop down menu
    Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
    Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
    Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
    Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
    Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
    Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
    Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
    iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.

    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    It won't work or just won't install?
    Which OS, browser(s), and anti-virus software are you using?
    If you're using the free Avira AntiVir(us) Personal software, then deactive the Webguard feature first before installing the Flash Player.

  • My default print size has changed to 130%.  I have tried everything to change it back to 100%.  Any suggestions?

    My Mac Mail default print size has somehow changed from 100% to 130%.  I have tried everything to change it back to 100% with no resolve.  Help!

    I'm using Tiger right now, but I believe Leopard is the same. Select Page Setup from the Menu. Input 100% in the Scale block. Then at the top of the Page Setup window, click the arrow on Settings & change from Page Attributes to Set As Default.

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password.  I have tried everything.  I even changed the password, nothing is working.  Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphon

    I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password.  I have tried everything.  I even changed the password, nothing is working.  Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5.  I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack.  Please help, I need to use this feature soon.  Thank you so much

    Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information.  Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection.  Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
    Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.
