Hi All.

I have a situation where my app takes 13secs give or take to load.
the play scene consists of about 4 different actors simulation parallex etc. I've played with
Preload on and off for actor as recommendated by others and/or old threads.

the app size is only 9.6 in GS . is there a checklist to go on to check things in order at all???
what could allow is to load after 13secs. Allows actors that are unmovable have MOVABLE Attribute OFF.

btw - my iphone device is 3GS and im sure i can improve the load time if some of you guru's can
point out a few things for me to look at ?

Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you compressed your images or are they stil 24 bit PNGs ?

    Hi tynan. When you say compressed ,are you saying I should use a picture compressor to size them down.?

    If you want your image assets to load faster you can convert them from 24 bit to 8 bit, this can dramatically reduce the files sizes.

    ImageAlpha (Google it) is by far the best 24 bit to 8 bit converter out there, it's free, fast, very easy to use (one control slider) and supports alpha channels (transparency) - if you are careful you can massively reduce file size with no perceivable loss in quality.

    "Allows actors that are unmovable have MOVABLE Attribute OFF."

    P.S . . . This will have zero effect on load times, movable on or off only effects the game's performance once loaded.

    Mmd you . . . having said all that . . . 00:13" for a 9.6MB file does seem very slow . . . ?

    '"Can't thank you enough my friend"

    You can try sending me $10,000 in unmarked dollar bills, that might do it.
