-========================================-

Thanks Lee for your insite. Is there any difference in file sizes 

when creating illustrations outside of Flash vs creating them in 

Flash? I'm really new to Flash, only have the application for a few 

weeks. I did a quick movie at http://www.onepixel.com/cobra-movie and 

it's so slow and jerky that I thought it might be because it was 

created in Illustrator and then imported into Flash. If I had created 

the illustration in Flash, would it have been any different in regard 

to file size and loading time?
