Re: FLASH: shrinking .swf file size

[Hal Medrano]

Hi Sarah,


It's not really a question of file size; it's a question of CPU power and

redraw speed.  If you can control the playback machine (e.g. for a business

presentation), just use a really high-end computer with a strong CPU and

lots of RAM.  But if you can't control the playback machine (e.g. for the

web), you're really just going to have to pick a minimum-level to shoot for

and author your piece to fit that level.


No way around it though; grandma on her old 486 will have trouble seeing

your work, unless you author it for her machine.


Hope this helps!


Hal
