FLASH: flash file sizes

[john duffy]

Hello there everyone


I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on flash file

sizes. Im doing quite a large website at the minute and im worried

that the file size might get too big.Ive two questions really


1.Ive had to import quite a large image. Its only one colour

so i though i could trace it. Even though ive optimised the gif 

before importing it the file size of the swf file still seems quite 

large. Im not 100% sure how to do tracing. So i delete the jpg from 

the library afterwards?


Secondly there are lots of different pages on the site with varying 

dergrees of animation on each page. The front page has most of the 

fancy animation.


Im thinking about splitting it into different html pages. Is this a 

good or stupid idea? On one hand im trying to reduce theoverall file 

size but then again i dont want people having to wait ages for each 

section to download and put them off.


If anyone has any advice,tips or sites that could help me I would be 

extremely grateful.


Thanks in advance

John Duffy
