Could be several things. From smart palette optimization techniques to

clever construction of background/foreground/design usw....


It's always a challenge for a webmaster/flasher/whatsoever to solve the

problem of how to build a site/swf/whatsoever for best performance online.


If you use vectors ‹ and use them often if the project allows it ‹ simplify

the vector points. For bitmaps in flash ‹ you can set the compression rate

of the bitmaps individually in the archive to achieve best file size

results.


Content optimization depends always on requirements and knowledge of not

only the programmer but the graphics artist too. If an artist knows about to

work out simplified palettes in DeBabelizer for instance, he could always

have "the optimization eye" with him during the design process and is on the

best way to deliver "optimized" content with just the graphics he created.
