Re: FLASH: Flash bitmap overhead question...

[Sohrab Pirayesh]

The size disparity is becaus eof flash using its own jpeg compression, which

is ratehr big in file size.


I had a similar problem. the total sum of my images was 150k, but flash was

making it nearly triple the file size.


I am not sure about your situation so i will explain to you what i did.


I went into photoshop and compressed all of my images ( as gifs) then i went

into flash and changed teh paths from the bmp images to teh new gif

images.then i set teh compresion setting of the image from jpeg compression

to lossless gif.


(simply go to you library slect the properties of the image and select

lossless gif from the pull down)


What this does is tell flash not to use its own compression and merely

output teh image you imported.


I hope this helps
