Suggestion: On how to reduce file size.

[Espen Hansen]

Kumusta Everyone !


I have currently finishing work on a site ( non commercial ) and for

navigational purpose I have chosen to use Flash.  As a rule of thumb I

have tried to keep all files small, less than 20K.  And I have almost

succeeded, 3 html pages is greater than  20K.  But my navigation menu is


my main concern, this file is 29.8K.

When using a T1 line as I do ? this is no problem.  But since I

will add some more sub menus ? the file will grow to more than 30K, and

this is what I am trying to avoid.  Does anyone have any suggestion on

how to achieve this?  - Any comments are welcome !


I have with great luck used Fireworks. Before I used

Adobe Photoshop 3.0.  But I found out that if I scanned

an image and saved it to a .tif format I could then use it direct from

Fireworks ? and by doing so, the files become smaller than if i went via


Adobe Pothoshop.


An other example on how I have used macromedia products successfully is

for my banner.  Originally I created an image using Adobe Photoshop -

610 * 80 pixels, and the size ended at 9K.  Hmmm... small I thought -

WRONG !

I decided on trying to create the same image using Flash ? 610 * 80

pixels.  BINGO...new size = 3K
