Game randomly flashing on boot

[JoOCoGames]

When I load my game it flashes to the top left corner of the map before going to the spot where the character is suppose to be. This is just started happening and so I am wondering it is due to the game being pretty big. The level is running at 2300 objects at 143mb. Any Ideas why it would be doing this or how to stop it? Thanks

This is a common problem. I'm guessing its a scrolling application and it has to do with the order of events. For some reason it isn't getting done in the first event loop and that is why you see that quick flash.

Hmmm. You used to be able to use the Window Control to hide the window at Start of frame and then, using the Timer, show it. That would prevent any flash or solve any issues on loading.

That does not seem to be working on my machine or Build 248. The window flashes, (appears) before it hides.

I just wanted to note that and find out if this is also happening to other users.

Wow, that is big... yeah that might be a lag issue. Have you tried turning ON Load on call for all objects? Also maybe you could do a trick like have the level Fade in. Not sure if that would allow the player to be shown at the right location or not.

Or have you thought about setting the players starting location to the top left corner of the screen? That's what I do.
