POIssue with large image performance in Flash (AIR app)
text
Body
copied!<p>I think my issue may be with using large images. Let me describes what happens.</p> <p>The way that I load these images is by having all instances of my class DynamicImage on frame 2 in the timeline. It loads an image based on an XML that has been read in before. </p> <pre><code>public class DynamicImage extends DynamicSingleImage { //var eLoader:Loader; //for english image var aLoader:Loader; //for alternate language image public function DynamicImage() { //loadMyImage(); //don't need to do this...super does this ... } override public function loadMyImage () :void { ... } </code></pre> <p>It doesn't matter to me that when we get to frame 2...the app just loads the assets.</p> <p>So just to make this question short...I have two DynamicImages that are loaded (they are 3840 x 2400). I have a toggle button that toggles between the two images. Let's call them A and B.</p> <p>The behavior is as follows. A is defaulted on. When I first switch to B...there's a split second delay before B shows. Now when I toggle back and forth between A and B (changing their "visible" property)...it's pretty immediate. I then go on to use other parts of my app...which also has some large images that I'm toggling on/off(also using visible = false/true). When I go back to A & B, when I toggle for the first time, I see that split second delay again!</p> <p>Is it because flash is loading/unloading these images from memory? Should I try to get this AIR app to use more memory? What else could be happening here?</p>
