Hi Len,

2 Bytes plus the Instruction costs.

2 Bytes per frame

2 x (65-17) = 96 Bytes for the frame spaces.

Also remember there is some possible time delay 1/x seconds for each

frame where x is the fps (frames per second). 


At present I have 28 different Byte Costs calculated for Flash 3 in the

Flash Bible with more to come.

Sign-up for Subscribing to the Bible will begin sometime between Friday

and Tuesday.
