Re: FLASH: file size-can be better

[Michael Penne]

Well, flash is better at bitmap than gif wizard is at vector, ehh?


Seriously, how does it compare when you compress the bitmaps in

gifwizard (or fireworks, etc.) and import to flash using imported jpeg

data? What size then the swf?


Perenially, I'm hoping 5 includes better animation controls (bones and

better morphing), a larger scripting window w/integrated

debugger/tracer, and some sort of batch process and/or action recording

(ala photoshop), a way to embed digital video files, all way above

bitmap compression on my list;-)...


How are you checking your file sizes? I tested gif wizard last year

with a group of students in a class I was lecturing at, and we found it

consistantly over reported the byte savings (as opposed to the file

sizes reported by NT, Unix, Mac, and Netscape), wonder if they fixed

that?
