The original SWF’s size was 500KB, the compressed SWF’s file size read 498KB. I tried to compress an SWF movie which I’d just finished. I got the full feature trial version good enough for 100 movies. A while ago some one told me about SWF Optimiser & said that it compressed SWF movies to about 70% of their original size. Tools like that rarely do compression like they claim to be. And you can get a good feel for that by spending some time experimenting It all comes down to understanding the compression methods. Different compression methods give vastly different results depending on the source material. Do you mean 117kB?Īnyway, compressing audio, video or images is a bit of an art. I’m a bit concerned that your JPG is 117B (that’s very small). Try scaling and cropping in something like Photoshop instead, but when you export from there, save it at highest quality JPG or maximum colour GIF.

Scaling images in Flash will leave you with the original large resource when you publish. In the little preview window, you can drag around the image to see how it will look with those settings.Īlso make sure that the image you have imported is not too large. In the Properties window that opens, play around with the settings and press the Test button to see how large the compressed file will be. Go to your Library, select your image, double click on it. It will be vectored art, so that won’t get any smaller
