Re: FLASH: Screensaver Size

[FlashJester Team]

Hi Eric,


The FLA size does not really matter while you are working on it. What

matters is when you export it as an SWF. When you create a Flash site, you

need to make sure the file size is the smallest but since you are

distributing the screen saver, it will be stored on the users computer, so

the size is not really an issue. Keep it under 1mb so the end result will be

less than 1.4mb so it can keep onto a floppy disk..


What you will find though with using large sized JPGs is that the animation

will be slow. Apart from that, there is no real problem with file size. But

I guess the smaller you can get the SWF, the faster the download of the

screen saver. To get a better idea on how to use JPG's in a screensaver look

at Eye4u Screensaver, it's fast and runs smoothly.
