Hi,


 >it is only 411 bytes (not kilobytes) in size.


I'm not quite sure how you worked that one out.


The 'teetering.swf' file in my 'Temporary Internet Files' is 293KB


maybe you're looking at a loading loop?

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.
