The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Flash Preloading Images - reducing load time on website

Asked by natsully in Adobe Flash, ActionScript, Web Images

Tags: Flash, ActionScript 2, xml

I have a flash website that I am in the process of creating.

It is a photographer's portfolio website so it is heavy on images and even some videos.

The site isn't but about half way done and it already takes FOREVER to load. I think the swf is around 10-13mb.
I have preloader set up on the first two keyframes on the website.

I need tips on how to reduce the load time on this site. I would love to have it where it loaded the images on a page only when you clicked to go to the page so I'm not wasting their time loading things they aren't going to see.

I've tried two methods - one having the entire website on one timeline and the pages are different keyframes and two having each page it's own "scene" with a preloader for each scene. Neither seemed to work.

I need some tips and help on how on earth to reduce this so it doesn't take ten minutes to load the site. I'm not clear on how to preload each image itself so any direction would be great.

thanks in advance.
