my flash loads soo slowly! but i need a large picture to act as the back ground. any way i can make it quicker?!

[d*d]

depends on how much quality you are willing to sacrifice, optimize your image in photoshop first, then when you import in into flash select it's properties from te library and change the compression setting to jpeg (if it's not already) and alter the percentage - you can get decent results at 40% but it's image dependant

[Kemp]

ill try it, and if not ive got a better idea, not using flash!

If it's a large file it'll take as long to load as the connection will allow.
Post a link to the file.

hmm, maybe i will have to use flash, so how do i go about compressing the images in flash?

[Kemp]

oook, does this look ok or too compressed?

Looks fine - apart from the textured background

[Kemp]

the idea of the textured background is that the image is printed on card, but i think im just gunna give up on it alltogether!

[d*d]

without the textured background that picture would probably load quicker as a vector

it looks perfectly fine
