RE: FLASH: flash file sizes

[Jason Cartwright]

A rather interesting artical on web page file sizes by 'Web Pages that

Suck.com'


http://www.websitesthatsuck.com/478.html


I think that this is a bit general and you should design your pages to fit

the average user that you get - eg a business website can have larger page

sizes than one for a home user.


Cheers!
