I am creating a computer based training program which displays pictures and asks questions about them. I am using the active picture object which is taking a long time to load the picture if it is in color. I dont understand this since mmf displays movies which contain hundreds of color images very smoothly.
I do resize them using the slower option which displays at a higher resolution but so what? Is there a way to get decent looking pics to load and display instantly?
they appear slowly coz they're external files, and MMF has to look them up and stuff to show them, active objects and stuff are faster coz they're stored in the same application. However, big actives are slow too, but i would still import them into an active instead of using the active picture object unless i was to have 360 degree thingies for it. Or actually then i'd use the Alpha channel object which has 360 degrees but stores images internally.
