Re: FLASH: size report

[John Dowdell]

Media descriptions are usually the largest part of a SWF. But instructions

do have costs too... a very large movie with a simple sprite may be larger

than a shorter movie with complex art. Media costs are usually much larger

than instructions, though.


For FLAs, remember that a quick "Save" operation will just append changes

to the file. If you continually save, then the file will continually get

bigger. A "Save As" takes a little longer, but rewrites the file from top

to bottom, and is usually perceptibly smaller.
