Is there a way to have the default pic in the beginning stay longer?

Here’s my problem, app opens -> default pic opens -> my native textfields appear on a black background -> maybe 2 seconds later all the background/misc. images appear.

I’m thinking that either I need the loading screen to appear for a longer time so that everything can load properly

or

My file sizes are too large. So prepare yourselves, I found out my background image (one of the first images to be loaded) was a whopping 4megapixels! So I dropped the png file to 2 but I’m still seeing the same amount of delay.

What are your opinions? is it my background image or my loading screen disappearing to quickly?

Most likely, you’re making too many things happen right at the start and will need to restructure things so the load is distributed a bit better.

#3

The fact that you’re expressing your image sizes in megapixels rather than Width x Height suggests to me that your images may be quite large. Here’s some advice regarding image sizes in Corona: http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/basics/optimization/index.html#texturemem
