If anybody has knowledge of Flash, your help on the following matter would be a great help;

I have made a Splash page(48kb)composed from Flash 5.0. Even after the page has loaded, the flash runs at a very slow place(it's fine offline)

Can anybody tell me why? Would a preloader help even though it's slow after the page has loaded? Also do different spec PC's run Flash at different paces?(as I am viewing from a different PC)

Thanks for you help......

I think it has to do with PC speed. I've noticed that even if you play your flash animation on the Flash player as a movie VS. when it's embedded into HTML, the HTML version will play slower. This happened to me when I did a Flash music video for a 4.5 minute song.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes...I've noticed that and always be sure I test within the browser and never use the stand alone player. And PC speed is definitely a factor, but less so if you only use flash vector graphics.

The issue here may be download speed speed though. If you set a movie to start playing immediately, it can only go as fast as the modem can go. Try this: let it load and fully play, then (assuming it doesn't automatically redirect you anywhere) hit the reload/refresh button on the browser. The movie's now in the browser cache, so if if plays normally then preloading may be appropriate.

I may be wrong but, I believe in order to test that you would have to dump your cache first. Just to make sure that it truly is downloading the first time. (am i right?)

Sorry Alex, I missed your reply.

Yes, you would want to start with a clean cache first to be sure you were getting the real picture.
