Stretching it a wee bit too far - Stutttter on CDROMS
Hi...
Ahem 40-50 MB Swf's?????
Flash was created to be a web based multimedia development tool. As such the Flash PLAYER can handle limited amount of swf sizes. As far as my experience goes ( having come out with 2 standalone Flash developed CDROMS) anything greater that 1 MB crashes on a computer ( at the users end) because usually the specs are low.
My solution to u wud be to make different 1 MB files ( swf's) and then load them sequentially as required.
Hope it helps.
...at least i know i'm not going mad!
Hello again fellow headbangers
Thoughts:
1> I don't believe framerate is much of an issue (perhaps with really high frame rates) as the video is embedded at a frame rate of 15fps (which is also my movie's fps).
2> It seems to be a streaming issue particular to the new video features of MX ( and perhaps audio...haven't tested)
3> My movie IS chopped up into smaller bits(10 -20megs) where the swf's load into the main navigation swf (size -500k) with loadmovie, target ,(where target is a placeholder in the _root movie). I even scripted unloadmovie into it before it loads the next swf (which is really redundant as this happens anyway)
4>I think the thread of flushing the RAM with sometype of FS command or the Flash n Pack thingy seems to hold the most promise as possible solutions..
I'm not an expert at flash or scripting by any stretch but in my experience with this problem (which i've been harping on for a while, check the posts ,lol....search liquid_len)
this is the best POSSIBLE solution at this point.
Please try it (as I will) and get back (post).
Hope I don'thave to buy FlashnPack or the other that was mentioned on another thread (FlashJestor I believe), as these may not work either!
GL ALL!
