keep going? or scrap it..

Hola...hi everyone.

Still a newbie and well i have been playing about with this menu idea i have, take a look and tell me if its interesting/cool/stupid?!

is it too slow? in my opinion its not too heavy for the motions it has...whats a good swf size for a cable connection now a days? 300KB??
this is lke half that so far....

by the way, only the "q" and the "s" work....i am having creativity pains thinking of what to do for the other 2 buttons, any ideas are more than welcome!

thanks!!!!!

here you go

i think its a pretty cool idea.. it runs a little slow... but if theres good material, ppl generally dont mind

:( really, how slow? is it like jerky? or is slow in loading...
its on a chilean server, not a very good one...so that will improve a bit...i will get better hosting....

but is the animation slow once it loads?

i put the site here too, might be a bit better

I would say its more choppy. Try boosting the frame rate to about 30-40 that should smooth it out

30 to 40???!!!! DAMN!
sorry, i dont know much about frame rates an stuff...i am only on 12....default. but if i speed it up to 30 or 40....my movie is gonna be over in like 2 seconds....how do i fix this? increasing frame rates and keeping like the same movement proportions..

thanks :)

30 or 40 most people will tell you is pretty standard. My guess is your using tweens for the motion. Convert it over to actionscripting. This way you can easily adjust and fine tune the animaitons as well as it will dramatically reduce file size. If you choose to continue with tweening then yes you have to proportion them. But i would have to say actionscipting is the best way to go.

You can find movement scripts just by doing a search in the tutorials section of FK.

Good luck

eightamrock, hi thanks for the help :)
for the motion i used swift3d,exported as images and then set them in the time line. so i could add stop actions etc...
would i still be able to convert this to AS??
i am still searching for a "movement script" tutorial but had no luck..if you have time to recommend, brilliant...thanks 4 the help

All the animation in flash is frame by frame no tweens? If that is the case then you will have to re-animate in swift at 30 fps so it looks right. That could be a lot of work but it is definately worth it. PM me for some simple movement.FLA's they will help you get the idea.
