What is amazing about this .swf is that even with audio effects it is only 

411 bytes (not kilobytes)  in size. Quite possibly the highest 

run-time:byte ratio in the history of Flash :-). Dave Jones talks about 

creating this from a series of storyboarded drawings, but obviously he did 

a lot of symbol conversion and optimizing that he doesn't mention. A good 

lesson to us all.
