Hiya Jennifer,


If you can keep your audience entertained by a small tween at the beg.

of the movie

and can be creative with wait for frame then larger files sizes are

acceptable. If you 

have a "load" symbol using wait for frame sitting there until the

complete movie is 

loaded then you might want to keep you file sizes down to around 100 to

150 kbs.
