Well not in Flash, don't forget it streams! So size is not your problem

at all. You'll only have a problem if you want to cram bits in the flow

than can flow through at your target rate.

Start by doing a test movie set your target rate, be conservative here

if you want the largest possible audience ( 28.8 is a good start, 14.4

if you're an expert). Notice any spikes above the red line ? That's

where you'll have streaming problems. See what's happening at those

points and try to optimize your movie.

It's all above the red line

</reader panic>

Well then it's time for a strategy switch.

You refer an animation. Is it interactive ? If not go for RealFlash it

will allow you to take a more professional approach to including sound

in Flash, but goodbye Flash3 and interaction.

Oh it is interactive ! Well then do you have Director6.5 ?
