FLASH: Optimization and Fonts

[Cheri Harder]

I always try to watch my bandwidth profiler and never make a wait of 10

seconds or more as the movie starts.  In this particular movie, I really

don't have much more than text fields, but the profiler showed a jump in

size due to the _sans font usage...so, I double checked to make sure I was

not including font outlines, and even changed my "labels" to non-editable

text fields using _sans, just to conserve size.  But I'm still showing a

large jump at my first text frame...I mean clear up to 32 and I always try

to stay under 32 unless I have a bunch streaming first, so there's no

wait...


What I really don't understand is that the generated report shows that the

file is saving ALL font outlines for _sans.  I would have thought that this

report (and the bandwidth profiler) would now show NO increase due to

text....


Is the movie really going to be a 10 second wait for 28.8 viewers?  Or could

the profiler & report be wrong?  Or am I assuming incorrectly?  Or am I just

missing somewhere that I have "all font outlines" checked by mistake?
