Re: FLASH: filesize

[Susie Hinchliffe]

hi Gavin

when you say optimised as much as possible, i guess you've played around

with the settings by clicking on the images once you've got them into

Flash?: i just wonder as i've got them down by 100K by putting them onto

lossless, or JPEG quality of 50:-

how clear and sharp do they have to be?  can you convert them to gifs and

possibly blur them a little?  i know it's people but if you're subtle with

it: this tends to help.

any good?

ah, JPEGs can grow in size: have you looked at

if for fading in you've tweened them, this can effect playback performance

(i don't think it effects file size), although i've done it on a couple of

things with alpha settings and it doesn't seem tooooo disastrous...(yet!)
