I’ve seen Flash sites that carry MUCH more content and they run really SMOOTH.
Mine is very choppy and it doesn’t have much to it.
The loading code I’m using on the first keyframe of the main.swf is as follows. Let me know if I’m missing something else that will make it load better so it can play smoothly.
onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
text = percent+"%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
I’ve added the same code to the external swf’s as well to make them load first before displaying.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something?
Here’s the site:

Today, According to reports it looks possible that the next big upgrade to the Windows OS, the fabled Windows 7, could arrive much earlier than expected. Within the next 12 months even. And who is responsible for making this prediction? None other than Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates himself, apparently.If this is true then it means the development schedules that have been bandied about up to now have undergone a radical rethink.The News.com article suggests that Gates responded to a question about Vista asked at a speech to the Inter-American development Bank and is quoted as saying “Sometime in…

Today,
I’ve attached a sample file HERE with only the necessary mc’s and whatnot involved.
You’ll see exactly whats happening when you test movie. The navigation works perfect UNTIL you get to the keyframe where the slider is, the the fscommand used for that slider takes over and messes up the nav to make the slider work…
This has plagued me for days not PLEASE HELP

Today, Less than a year after launching its high performance computing strategy, Microsoft finds its HPC Server 2008 near the top of the heap. The Windows Server 2008 derivative placed 23rd on a list of the 500 top-performing supercomputers in the world, as measured by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). And it’s which is still in beta; general availability is set for the end of this month. Running on a Dell PowerEdge Cluster equipped with 9,474 processor cores and 9600 GB of memory, HPC Server 2008 performed 68.5 trillion floating point operations (teraflops) per…

Today, Anyone with an interest in the history of computing will know that the first mechanical computer was invented by one Charles Babbage, British mathematician and visionary. If you happen to be in the vicinity of the Science Museum in London you can even see a working difference engine, something Babbage never did in his lifetime as he died before a prototype could be completed. Amazingly, according to this story a number of scientists in the US are now working once more on mechanical computers. Fair play, they are likely to weigh less then the two ton steampunk Babbage creation, a lot less in…

Today,
I working on a projector presentation in flash where I would like to run it in fullscreen. I use
fscommand("fullscreen","true") in the first frame, but it scales up my content so that it gets blured. Is it possible to keep the stage width and height and still go fullscreen, so you just fill the space with stage color.
Anyone been there?
Thanks!

Today,
Here is the link to the example:
http://www.rickdu.net/examples/boundaries/
I’m just trying to keep the image on the stage when ever it’s panned..
All I can figure out so far is how to keep it on stage without zooming.. If you pan to any edge of the image, without zooming, it will stop.. Then, if you zoom a bit and start panning the image again you can run it off the stage..
Please help if you can.. I’d be willing to pay for the modifications if necessary..
Thanks guys..

Today, Welcome to Crystal Ball Sunday #3. As promised, I’m going to explore the use of distributed computing for the workplace today. Whether you call it grid computing, distributed computing, volunteer computing, or some other name, it is the same animal: Donation of distributed (remote) computing power to a central project.Most distributed computing projects focus on worldwide issues such as solving cancer-curing molecule syntheses, finding extraterrestrial life, or solving some high-end mathematical problems. My prediction for distributed computing is that it will invade the workplace in the…
