RE: FLASH: StarWars Scroll

[Jayma]

Just thought I would add a little note here.  Autotrace does NOT always

help with the file size.  I had imported a 3D rotating object in sequence.

I saved the .swf without autotracing images = 120k.  Well, that was just

too big, so I set about using the autotrace, hoping to make it smaller.  I

tried several different ways with every possible setting I could come up

with, and the smallest the exact same file got was around 360k.  (that, and

at the smallest it looked terrible.)  I don't think I ever really got an

explanation as to why the autotrace actually increased my file size, but I

just wanted to warn you, check it both ways to see which is ACTUALLY

smaller.


FYI... autotrace is under MODIFY/TRACE BITMAP...


HTH,

Jayma
