My app takes a long time to open and is heavy, 43 MB

It is a book of about 200 pages, with some images and music mp3.

That I can do to make it faster and lighter?

How are the images and music stored? As part of the app file or as referenced assets?

You can do the same for images, add images in the copy file section. Then create an empty image (ImageHolder) and reference to the "real" image by script:

Code: Select all

set the filename of image "ImageHolder" to specialFolderPath("engine") & "/images/1.jpg"

Hola jorge,

better directly use relative pathnames for your images, too, no scripting neccessary, check this:
