the first thing that comes to mind is that when using the get info (apple+i)
function to get the file size. you are reading the files size as the space
on disk not the actual byte size of the fla file.

Subject: FLASH: PC and MAC file sizes


Hello all,

Can anyone answer why the following occurs:

We are working on a large website in a team on a combination of PC's and
MAC's and we have noticed the following occurring with the file size of the
FLA. The file is transferred from a MAC to the PC and registers in at 3.8
meg, if the file is then opened on the PC and immediately saved with no
changes the file size is 4.5 meg. What is going on here, surely the fla is
the base code of flash files and as such there shouldn't be any difference
between MAC and PC and what exactly is the PC adding?

This isn't a problem as such, we are just intrigued to know what is
happening,

TIA
