RE: FLASH: symbols vs. no symbols

[Rick Turoczy]

Kevin,


I haven't seen any massive savings in creating a symbol out of text, but

I have seen considerable savings by using a minimum number of font

faces.  


Hope that helps,

Rick

Another optimization question:


I read that you should try to make _everything_ symbols: i.e. a

paragraph of

text that is only used once in the movie, if you make it a symbol, the

final

filesize will be smaller than if you just leave it as text in a frame.


Any truth to this?
