Hmm, I have it finished, and rendered- but the resulting file is 8MB $:-\$

Might have to do a little trimming of my frames...

All right. Installed and playing around with it.

Not a bad program at all.

Thanks, Brian...

So do we need the Gltich picture?

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #19 on:** September 24, 2008, 06:00:47 AM »

Yes- I think that all the tutorials, as Steve said, will use Glitch as a "guide".

Size is also a big concern, we want people on slow connections to be able to view them in a timely fashion.

No need to actually have the picture at the time you make it, just remember to leave a spot for him, speech bubbles pointing towards it, and then you can paste him in when you get him.

Yep. Now what shall I do.....

What do you mean?

I think he means what his tutorial will be about.

Also, what size are we aiming for? Mine is huge, 4 megabytes.

Any tips for reducing the size? It was 8MB, but I managed to reduce it by half.

What type of connection do you have?

Cutting it by 50% is a task in itself. Did you clear your cache and try running it to check load time?

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #24 on:** September 24, 2008, 01:39:12 PM »

It loads in less then a second, but that's local on the HD-

I've managed to reduce it a further MB, so it's around 3MB now- at 10Kb/s it would still take almost 3 minutes.

I'll clear my cache and see how long it takes to load.

It's done otherwise (aside from fixes later on, and size tweaks)

EDIT: after clearing the cache, it loads in less then half a second- on the other hand that is local. I've got a few visual tweaks, such as the Cursor over the items tip Noah suggested for yours, but aside from that I think it's ready.

Do me a favor...email the wink file to me...so I can upload it and test load time, as well.

Thanks...

Do you mean the SWF, or the WNK file- the WNK file is 18 MB, and hotmail refuses to allow for anything over 10MB.

If the WNK file is necessary, I could use a file sharing site- SWF I can send with not problem.

Saviour · « **Reply #27 on:** September 24, 2008, 05:53:39 PM »

Just send the swf and js files...

I'll upload and test them on the server...send to admin.

Thanks...

alright, I'm on it then
