Hiya Flashers,


I had a question about a week ago that didnt get a reply. I imported a png file

with alpha

channel into Flash. I created a new movie and imported the same image, but this

time

as bmp format. However after exporting both movies, I noticed that the .swf of

the exported movie using

the png file was TWICE as large as the .swf being exported with the bmp.


What gives? I though Flash exported all images in a .swf file as jpg format.
