Website Flash Loading Slowly Help
Hi,
I have recently launched a site for a client which includes an interactive flash element on the home page but it takes a long time to load (10-30seconds). I have followed advice from others about keeping image small and link movies rather than embed but still slow, the swf file is about 7.9mb which i thought was ok for the size of flash file.
Does anyway else know where I have gone wrong whether it be the embedding or some other area.
I would appreciate any help/advice I can get, the site is wiggin .co.uk
Cheers
Thanks for the reply....
I have gone through and done all except loading the images externally as I am not sure how to do this, I have got the file down to 6.8mb so saved about a 1MB, but cant see much difference in load time though..
regarding loading images externally how do i go about this with the last disruption to the current animation, the flash is made up of lots of elements that took ages to compose, is there a way to just direct flash to look for all the images in a folder without editing the timeline, then i can clear the library? (or am i just dreaming..)

Flash loading slowly on website
Hi,
I created a website in dreamweaver that has flash elements to
it, however when I view my website it takes awhile for the flash to
load, the flash is a image viewer that contains jpegs of images, do
I need to use lower resolution images? How can I tell if my flash
file is too big? Please help.
ThanksYour swf file seems small (as in pixel dimension). Is the
original Flash file this size or have you reduced the Flash file
size in DW? If the pixel dimensions for your Flash document are
500x500 but in DW you reduce to 200x200, then yes, your Flash file
may be larger than it really appears on this website. For example,
on Event Plannin, you have 5 images. Do you have all 5 images
within that Flash file or are you loading the images seperately
once they rollover the thumbnail (which is what I would recommend).
Either way, you should still have some form of preloader so people
won't be looking at a blank screen while it loads (if they have a
slow connection).
How high is your resolution on your images? -
hey all, i'm having a little problem i hope you can help
with. i had to pick up someone elses job, its mostly done however
theres a playback problem.
Here's
a link
its 3 smaller files loading into a shell swf. something is
going on causing the files to load very slowly until they've loaded
completely, then they play correctly. is there any way to tell the
shell movie to preload the loaded movies completely at startup? or
anything else you could recommend to get this working correctly?

Can anyone help me and maybe give me a little tutorial on how to change the template.
Link to the template: http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_247_3d_touch_ring

Just incase you have'nt look for Example below taken from the xml file which was provided with the .fla file
"<photo>
<thumbnail>s_photo_003.jpg</thumbnail> Change the image name for a thumbnail here i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<filename>photo_003.jpg</filename> Change the image name for a the large image here i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<tooltip>Photo Title 03</tooltip>

Hello community,
I was wondering what would cause my website to run slowly? How can I determine if it's the host or me. The host is godaddy in this case.

The gallery images seem to be taking forever to load.
More information...
Image background is a gif
Images are less than 1MB a piece
Thanks,
RobertI have a lightening fast fiber optics connection so I don't notice a lot of delay but there is some latency. If you're on free or shared hosting plan with GoDaddy, good luck to you. You get what you pay for.
I notice your background image is big. 721.96 kb (739,287 bytes) is about 7-1/2 times bigger than it should be. http://www.nailontheheadinc.com/grunge-construction1.gif
Gallery:
16 x approx. 100 kb = 16,000+ kb for full size images
16 x approx. 50 kb = 800+ kb for thumbnail images
This stuff is all cumulative. You might try reducing image file size some more. I try to keep thumbnails around 15 kb and full size images around 50 kb.

Firefox loading slowly including other websites, freezes
When I open firefox it loads slowly. When I try to go to another site it slows/freezes. What can I do to fix this. Also in the help tab it only give me the option for troubleshooting information. No reload, restart option.
I suspect that the search value in your setup is invalid.
Could you please do the following.<br><br>
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
#If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step.<br><br>
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK.<br><br>
#Close the tab<br>
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.<br><br>
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br><br>
If this step fixes the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same subject.
Thanks. -

Main image loads slowly on website
How do I fix the fact that the main image on my web pages loads slowly on any web browser? I created each main image in Photoshop and made sure each was 72 dpi and was its layers were flattened. Is there some kind of code I need to add? I heard something about adding java script.
Please let me know.
-EricaLOL comment is from a Spam Bot. Just ignore it.
Images should be resized to the size required on your web page(s). Save for Web as optimized JPGs. The smaller the file size, the faster your page load speed.

Applications load slowly on imac after Mavericks clean install
After a clean install of Mavericks, my late 2009 imac runs more slowly compared to how it ran under Snow Leopard. Applications like "Settings" take a few seconds to load, whereas under snow leopard, the application would load almost instantly. The Novabench score now is around 771, and matches about what I measured after the clean Mavericks install, but appears low compared to scores for similarly configured systems running Snow Leopard. The system is quite usable, especially if applications are left open, just slower. Is it possible to identify from Etrecheck a possible explanation? Is this level of degradation of performance expected when upgrading an old system? Thank you for your help.

Images and objects loading slowly
I built my personal website with Adobe Muse (http://www.tylerburton.me/) and there are a few issues I would like to fix. The main problem is certain images and objects seem to load slowly and weirdly when I navigate to the pages. The green navigation bar at the top of the screen as well as the background of my portfolio or the two main examples. Any advice would be much appreciated.
For the two background images, create the faded effect in Photoshop and save the images as JPEG prior to importing into Muse.
At present these two images are either transparent to begin with or have transparency applied in Muse to create the faded effect. That works visually, but results in Muse converting the images to PNG (to support the transparency) and PNG is roughly 5 times larger than a reasonable quality JPEG for this type of image. If you flatten the effect into an opaque version of the image in Photoshop, then JPEG format can be used.
I'm not seeing unusual loading of the header bar, but you might be seeing FOUT (Flash Of Unstyled Text)? It can/will occur if the browser first draws the page before the Web Fonts have loaded. The exact behavior depends on connection speed, the browser used and no doubt other factors. -
Hi,
I was viewing quicktime videos on a website today and all of sudden everything started loading slowly. I immediately went to disk utilities and ran it. Still the videos ran slowly. I even did Diskwarrior and shut down/restarted my computer and still they are loading at a very slow rate. Is there something else I can do? Why are the videos loading slowly? I've checked my internet speed on websites like msnbc.com and my business website which has flash videos and they worked fine. I also had someone send me another quicktime video which although it didn't load promptly was playing in less than 7 seconds.Post a link/URL of the slow loading video website.

Hello my fellow Apple product user's. My problem has been going on for about a month and half with my laptop locking up, file folders on my desktop loading slowly and my sleep button and other buttons on my dash board not responding. Where to being with my issues that are listed up in my title and my first scene. The first issue has been my file folders are not loading fast like that did before, the issue is that they load in about 10-15 if not a little longer after I log into my laptop desktop. The second issue is that my sleep button does not respond to sleep right away, I have to press it three or four different times after I have logged out of my desktop to make it go to sleep. The final problem is dealing with my buttons and laptop locking up, when I started an application called runescape after it load to the log in screen and after I came back to log into the game it decide to lock up/ froze on me and durning that time my buttons on my dashboard was not responding, so I decide to command q to quit the application and after that buttons were not reponding to it and I decide to do common and control c to see if it would work and it did and after that everything has been working fine except for the files are loading slowly. Also I had another issue with the laptop sleeping so quick as soon I am using the Internet. There was one other problem that had happen to me just like my description in my first scene, but I do not remember that issue.
