Re: Flash animation too big!
Hi Xannax
Have you looked at the publishing settings? I have mine set to compress movie, for example I have a 1mb .fla that when its published goes down to a142kb swf
Hope that is of some help

Xannax,
Are you creating the shape, then Converting to Symbol before you reuse it?

Will that make a difference to the file size?

Re: Flash animation too big!
Manny,
I think it does. If you create or convert to symbol, Flash can continue to use the symbol repeatedly with a far smaller overhead than had you just copy/pasted multiple copies on stage.
The other reason for using symbols is that you only need to change the base symbol for it to effect all duplicates of that symbol globaly.
Re: Flash animation too big!
Thanks Egg , i'll keep an eye on that in the future.

Re: Flash animation too big!
Are you using any raster or bitmap images in your file that are being exported to your SWF?
If you don't optimize those graphics before you bring them into Flash, they can really bloat an SWF.
Also, I agree with Egg, use symbols whenever you can.
