Very Slow Movement

[WoodyRoundUp]

Hi all.
I have faced this problem.
I have one movie.
I use object that use rectangle and font to do some animation.
Then, I load this movie on top of one movie that has lots of image.
And as the result, it is the animation runs very very slow.
All the frame rate I set to the same figure already, 20.
Can anybody tell me why? Thanks.

Woody

max for net you'll get is 18 i believe...
try going to your publish settings..
adjust the images (jpgs?) to a lower res.
as well... set movie to medium quality....
flash is primarily a vector based program.. and when you bring in and annimate rastured images... you're defeating the purpose of it.
so.. there for you have to tweak..
make sure images you bring in.. are the size you need.. not huge 1200 x 1200 pixels reduced to itty bitty squares....
this will help...
as well....
try to tween/annimate them as little as possible...
and NOT at same time.. if you tween too much at once.. it boggs....
try to start another tween once one completes...

sincerely,steve GB<><

Thanks guys.
Solved it already.
Now facing another problem.
I am to call an exe application through a Flash movie.
I use

on (release) {
getURL (&quot;Video.exe&quot;
}

as the result, it will not directly run the exe, but it will ask us wether to run or to save this exe file. If we choose run, then we will need to choose again whether to install this exe in our PC.
But, I don't want this all alert. I want to run the exe directly once I clicked the button.
For your information, the exe file is compiled from Visual Basic code. Please help! F1..F1..F1..F1...

Thanks for your reply.

You can't force an .exe on a user, without his consent!
Security!
No way around the alert!
This would only work locally, if the user chose to download a package (containing the Flash movie & the .exe file) and had the application required already installed!

Well, actually my flash movie is for local use.
I don't put it on the net. It's only for presentation purpose.
So, the same problem happen here.
I need everything to run very smooth so that I don't need to click many button that will delay the presentation.
Any idea?
Thanks.

You could try something like:

on (press) {
fscommand (&quot;Exec&quot;, &quot;notepad&quot;
}
This will open Notepad. Note that all of these will not work while TESTING the movie in the Flash application pgm. It should if you run the swf on it's own.

The following opens fish.exe as long as the file is in the same directory as the swf. Otherwise you should add the path to your .exe file

on (press) {
fscommand (&quot;Exec&quot;, &quot;fish&quot;
}

The following should open a start &quot;dos window&quot; before opening the same exec as above.

on (press) {
fscommand (&quot;Exec&quot;, &quot;start&quot; add chr(9) add &quot;fish.exe&quot;
}
