Designing for Internet Speed

sethmac · 09-04-2008, 11:11 PM

Hi,

I was just curious if anyone knows the standard speed you should design for when creating a flash site. I often try to test down to 56K modem, but it is often an unpleasant experience especially if I stream audio.

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

It shouldn't matter what the speed is as long as you preload or stream your assets, right?

You should make sure that the file size is reasonable as well... You don't want to create a 1MB SWf file unless it is necessary... You should really make sure that you are modulizing the pieces as much as you can...
