page loading times

[joezapp]

Hi,

Not sure if anyone can help but...

I have a page with 6 embedded swfs (graphs pre-generated from Macromedia generator). They're about 12KB each. The problem being that the page takes well over thirty seconds to load.

Its over an intranet I'd have thought that it should be a whole lot faster. Unfortunately I don't have access to web space to post the page and swfs so I guess that's going to cut down on people helping / spotting something I've done wrong or could do better.

The html is basically the following times six:

<table class=&quot;body&quot;>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table class=&quot;body&quot;>
<tr>
<td>Euro / US Dollar</td>
<td>0.9073</td>
<td>+0.0027</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><embed src=&quot;/reports/news/fx.EURUSD.swf&quot; loop=false WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300></embed></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp</td>
</tr>
</table>

any suggestions would be very gratefully received - I know I could generate gifs instead of swfs which would speed the page up but as we're looking to introduce some interaction to the graphs plain image graphs would kind of defeat the object of purchasing flash in the first place.

Many thanks


Joe
