It has been years since I used flash, so I consider myself a rank amature. I'm Using Flash 8 and would like the code to be backward-compatible to ver. 6.
I have a big movie, with lots of images. I've comprimised the image quality as much as I dare, but it still takes 20-30 seconds to load (my client is in Paris, and claims to have the fastest connection in Paris, but it takes more than a minute to load it from there, even when loaded on his local server). I'm assuming that the only way to achieve a meaningful decrease in load time will be to split it up into smaller swf's, one mail swf, and each sub-page in it's own swf, and have each swf loaded only when needed. The fla can be downloaded here:
cjreynolds.com/fuda30.zip
The movie currently runs an intro animation, then when a link is clicked, it loads different "pages" which consist of large movie clips. These are contained in a MC called "pages", and are called by manipulating a root variable called "level" - ie: "level = 1" causes the MC at frame 1 of the "pages" MC to be displayed. (this was an existing movie that I have been tasked with modifying).
#1 - Is it correct that splitting the individual pages into different swfs the only way to lessen load time? I would welcome any other suggestions.
#2 - If spitting the movie up is the way to go, I'm thinking I need to replace the movie clips in the "pages" MC with swfs. How do I tell each individual page to go back to the main (intro) swf and load a different page? The main timeline contains animations that "overlay" the sub-pages, creating a transision effect when going from one page to the next.
Thanks for your help - you guys (and gals) have been a great source of aid for me!

if you have audio in your flash, recoding it can save a huge amount of data. other than that, cleverly loading only what is needed is the best way to reduce load time. as for redirecting, assign a variable to the main timeline and use that to play specific actionscript from within other swf's

I am working with some very large bitmap files (1700 * 60000) and need
to split them into vertical strips. This is because GDI+ seems to load
the entire file into memory and crashes with an out of memory error.
How can I read a BMP file directly at byte level and split it into
smaller files? For example, into 1700 * 1000 strips.

I have some files that are anywhere from 3GB to 9GB and I need to split
them down to a series of smaller files similar to what the "split"
command in linux can do. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a
linux machine right now. I have been told that a program could be
written in C/C++ that would do this very quickly.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial or how-to that will teach me to write
a quick program do accomplish this?

I have a large data file that I split into smaller more manageable chunks (went from a 12.86 GB file to 500 MB - 1.6 GB chunks).
I now want to add to the PERL script and go back through those more manageable chunks and pull out any invoices within those smaller data files that are larger than 250 MB each and print them to their own files as well.
How do I go about doing that?
