Feedback Please

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.

Hi Egg,

it loads and runs surprisingly fast and smooth, given the number of pictures and the size of them.

And even at fullscreen (1280x1024) not the slightest bumpiness.

And it's not even the latest in computers I am using, PIII, 866 Mhz if I am not mistaken ...
And I am viewing with IE5.5

Hope that helps

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]

I have a new computer with a video card with tons of memory, so it's not easy to judge what Flash runs like on an older computer. (I've still got my old computer but it's u/s at the momment)
Thanks again for the quick response.

Takes 43 seconds to load completely, but runs perfectly (not held up by download speed) during and after loading! :-)

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.

My work computer:

PII 350MHz 128MB
ATI 8MB Graphics

Took 50 secs to finish downloading, despite faster connection. Perhaps some of the fade-outs have slowed a bit at full res (1152 x 864), but still basically running smoothly!

BTW, I like it a lot!! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Looking at it again, it *does* run faster in smaller windows both at home and at work.

For example, the whole sequence takes 63 secs in an 800 x 600 window at home, but 77 secs at 1152 x 864 full screen mode on the same machine. It appears to be the fades (especially the dissolutions of the tower following 'The Harwich Society' and the house with the galleon) that are taking longer, although everything's still smooth enough!

... 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!
