[IxDA Discuss] "Acceptable" download/performance time on flash sites?

[Itamar Medeiros]

Another "trick" I usually do is to compare the loading time, how
long the animation will last, in relation to how big is the flash
file:

-Depending on the users bandwidth, you wouldn't have to make them
wait for the whole animation to be loaded before playing: you could
have it play once "x" % of the flash file is loaded; that's what
Quicktime and other streaming players do.

Flash doesn't do that automatically, so you would to make some
estimation of the loading time in relation to the average user
bandwith.
