Feedback Please

[Egg Bramhill]

I am producing a new splash page in Flash for one of the websites I've created. I would appreciate some feedback on the speed that it runs on different computers. The Splash page is'nt complete but most graphics are completed. I really want to know how it runs on slower processors.
Thanking you in advance.

Looks great Egg.

Streams perfectly on my system. Good job optimizing the graphics with the flow. Convenient way to preload elements and symbols isn't it?

The ship tween from right to left at or about the 10th sequence runs a little rough, but your apt to get that for the size of the tweened objects.

The graphics are very well done Egg. Kudos

Egg,

Super graphics. They came in beautifully in Netscape
on P4 machine. The graphics and their movements were very smooth.

They crossed the ocean nicely, and din't seem to mind the rainy day.

Cheers,

Neil

Egg...only in the interest of helping you out. I have timed your flash intro on one of my slower systems.

Specs:
AMD K6 233 Mhz
32 Mb Ram
Integrated video on motherboard (1 Mb Cirrus Logic 5429/30/34)
14" SVGA Monitor running 800x600 16bit color (11 years old)
Cable Internet connection through a crappy ethernet (10) card (252 Kilobits per sec according to bandwidthplace.com this afternoon) *this PC's best feature*

I timed your flash from the time I clicked the link to the time it started its second cycle.
2 min 25 sec
By far the slowest pieces were the fades and zooms. Everything else just popped right up.

Yes, this system does run XaraX.

Excellent job on the Flash intro. I like it.

ps Is there a prize for having the worst system? I have another that I haven't tried it on yet. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

P4 - 1,6GHz
512 DDR - 333Mhz
Fullscreen-1152x864-32bit


P.S.> Hm.... in this days what exactly meaning slow computers? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] P3??? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

... the slowest system I could lay my hands on:

P2 ~400 IE 5.5 128 MB

I can't judge the download speed but it all displayed nicely, except for the ship sailing by - it was unbearably slow. I also agree with Peter's comment about the tower - but ship did it for me - I would have hit the back button (The ship sequence took about 19 seconds (what can I say - I'm impatient.)

Very impressive looking stuff, Egg!

Animation runs in real time and looks terrific.

The one thing that turns me off about most Flash intros is waiting while the images load. Something I usually get bored doing and move on.

Because your animation loads and plays in real time this is not a problem.

Well done.

Hi Egg,

Feel like I know everyone as I've been reading the posts here since Talk Graphics opened. Just never posted until today.

As expected your Flash movie runs very well on my newer pc:
P4 1.8GHz 400MHz + 512MB DDR 266MHz
ATI Radeon 7500 + 56k modem

When you said older system you didn't specify how old... my other pc is positively ancient, but gave it a try. I have an odd network setup between the two machines and only one monitor (15" set at 800 x 600) connected to the P4. So for accuracy of the test switched monitor to the old pc

P120 + 64MB RAM + ATI Turbo Pro (mach64) + 28.8 modem

The building that assmebles and zooms in at the beginning of the movie and the ship that fades in and out were excruciatingly slow. Many other objects zoomed rather smoothly up to the last few frames and then continued in a very jerky fashion until completion. There were half a dozen or more objects that did very well. The "Electric Palace" sequence, the two buildings that rise up after the fading ship, the lighthouse, and the buoy marker to name a few.

On this pc I tested in both NS4.7 and IE5, and found it ran better in IE.

Thanks for this input and welcome to the forums. Please don't lurk but feel free to join in any time. It's always a problem creating Flash that will run smoothly on any machine. Zooming in beyond the objects size seems one and the other is fading or transparency changes. Thanks again
