RE: FLASH: please check this 3D spinning "K"

Didn't get the URL so I couldn't check it but problem is probably with the

fills it you didn't change them. You probably have numerous small vector

files creating your gradient fills. If you delete the fill and create and

apply similar fills in Flash you will likely see the size go down

Subject: FLASH: please check this 3D spinning "K"



Please look at my attempt to create a 3D spinning "K".


I think 20K is rather large for this movie - it's only 18 frames long (18

separate stages of rotation).  Here's how I did it - any advice very

welcome.


I copied and pasted my graphics from MacroModel.  Once pasted in Flash, I

then did a "Trace Bitmap" operation on it choosing after some time

"1,1,tight,many corners" as my parameters.  After this operation, I had a

fairly faithful representation of the gradient shading of the original, so

I didn't do anything else - I just piled up the graphics on consecutive

frames.


I'd like to get the file size down and I'd like to make it look neater.  To

be honest I haven't understood some of the advice about recreating the

gradient fills.


Thanks in advance
