what can cause a flash page to take 30 sec. to display?

Tags: #flash #flex #actionscript #builder

I am using Flash Builder 4.6 to create flex 4 and ActionScript 3.0. This process creates a number of files for one webpage.

 

history folder

upload.html

upload.swf

framework_4.6.0.23201.swf

mx_4.6.0.23201.swf

playerProductInstall.swf

rpc_4.6.0.23201.swf

spark_4.6.0.23201.swf

sparkskins_4.6.0.23201.swf

swfobject.js

textLayout_2.0.0.232.swf

 

When my firefox browser first loads a page that has a flash upload form I created, the page shows a load bar for 30 seconds before the page displays the form. Every visit to the page after that displays the form near instantly.

 

When I visit other websites for the first time that have flash content, the pages don't take 30 seconds.

 

What could be the cause of this? Thanks.

    How fast is your network.  The first time it is probably loading all of those RSLs/SWFs.

    By network, correct me if I misunderstand you, I think you are refering to the server of my host provider. It is the cheapest. It is a shared server. I don't know how fast. Sometime this year I plan to upgrade to a more midgrade server.

     

    Maybe some of these files listed above can be optimized. My flex/flash page is just an upload image form. It has upload and cancel buttons component, some text in a textarea component, and a progress bar component. I don't think my actionscript code can or needs to be optimized further.

    I was reading through one of my flex books and discovered something called export release build. I have been only been pressing the run button all this time and uploading those files. The release build is an optimized version of files. The file sizes are little smaller. My web page came up in about 10 seconds or less. I will have to do more testing, but I think that may have been the cause.

     

    Thanks for your help Flex harUI.

    I would use merged-into-code instead of RSLs.
