Tips for a better Looping image display?

lol when googling "AS3 scrolling image loop" this thread comes up 5th...

Flash doesn't always deal well with bitmaps being moved--smaller is better (less noticeable).

Thanks, I am considering a different transition method, or perhaps tweening so that once the full image is in view the image slows.

I'm pretty sure that I have the movie set to 30fps so I can only attribute the jerkiness to the large file size.

I will try and google some tutorials. I'll check back here to see if anyone else knows of any good ones.

Assuming that this is a valid concept (sorry, as a user I find it quite annoying and dizzying after awhile), one of the approaches to speed it up in the beginning - split the image into several ones and load them one by one or in groups so that first few to show load, naturally, first. Then you will need to append them to the strip.

It would be much more scalable to keep the reference to the images in an XML so that should you remove or add images - everything is done in the XML and you don't have to recompile every time.

Also, I would set a higher frame rate (around 30fps) - animation looks a bit jerky.

If the presentation of many images is important - perhaps another type of transition should be considered (not scrolling but, say, blending via alphas or something). In addition to the movement being dizzying, there is very little time to appreciate the images.

Try Googling "AS3 scrolling images" and you will probably find a tutorial or two that will help eliminate the image file weight from the Flash file. Depending on the image file sizes, you may want to look into a preloader for them as well.
