How Can I Reduce This File Size Of This?
hello everyone.

i have a short animation with a few layers, a few keyframes and some tweening.

the file size is 46k and i think that means about 9 seconds to load (?maybe?)

is there any way anyone can see to reduce the file size? with or without significantly altering the animation.

am i being wasteful / could i reuse items to save space. 46k just seems quite a lot!

thanks very much for answering, i appreciate your time.

How Do You Reduce The SWF File Size?
Hi. I have created several flash files for work and I need to change the file size for publishing. As it is right now the file size is about 1.5 MB for each file and I need to reduce that to 1MB or lower since people are going to be viewing them in HTML.

One thing about these flash files is that each one contains about 100 JPG Images. Hence, I tried to reduce the JPG Quality to 90% in the Publishing Setting and the resulting size was about 600KB! I would stick with this but I need the JPG Quality at 100%. Is there any program, or method that can be used to achieve a file size of >1MB?

On the side note, I would like to make this project streamable but I do not know of any program that would achieve this. If you know any, just post it here

Thanks, I appreciate any replies

Can I Reduce The File Size Any More?
Hi I am wondering if I can reduce my file size any more. It is still pretty high at 285 kb. I have tried a few different things: compressing the file on export in flash, not compressing the export and using software to compress it. Deleting some files within the image library. Is there anything else I can do without loosing to much quality. I need to keep it as a swf file because it is going to be in my website template. If you need any more info or would like to see my original file or the report you can export from flash please let me know. Thanks!

PNGs - Does It Help Reduce File Size/load Times?
Hello,

Does taking several hundred assets & converting to one large PNG (then splice in Fireworks) help when used on a page for internet as far as making it easier to download or making it more stable instead of several hundred assets to download in Flash?

I did try it and the load time file size appears the same, visually it looks the same but now I hardly have any assets to load. Is there a benefit to doing it this way? And are there any special settings to use when using PNGs for the internet. Can old/new computers see them the same way?

thks.

Does ActionScripting Movement For A Movie Clip Reduce File Size?
I'm new to using ActionScript and decided to go back to an older project and control the movement of some of the bigger bitmaps using scripts instead of tweens. Upon saving however, it didn't seem like it saved me anything in the file size dept to do this (even though it worked just fine) which surprises me since it seems like removing keyframes and tweens would do this. Does anyone have some insight on if and how ActionScript can be appled to reduce overall file size?

Thanks,

How To Reduce Full-size Image In Flash Photogallery
I tried my hand at building a photogallery following along Colin Smith's "How to Wow" in Flash. Everything seemed to turn out great except when I click on a thumbnail to show the full size image, it appears bigger than the stage so you only see a part of it. I have tried reducing the size of the image in photoshop and replacing the original library image...no use. Can anyone suggest how to fix this so that it will show a image no bigger than the stage? To get a better understanding of what I am talking about, you can see it at www.keystonemkg.com/flashproblem.html

Reduce Size Of Swf?
WOW I finanally finished my high dynamic menu. I've uploaded the new site and what??? It takes very long before I see something and it is not possible to view the whole site anymore!!!
http://www.sabrinamaes.be

FIRST: is there a possibility to reduce size of swf to download: (It is now 849 sec...and about 3KB. On the start page I have 4 different SWF in four frames

SECOND: if this is not possible I probably have to make a preloader to get all bytes first and put the customer through to the site??? If yes is the answer what is the actionscript to use to sent the customer to the site wich is an htm-page. But even then download time will be to big.

I hope somebody can help
Kind regards

Any other tricks i should know about?

Pls take a look at http://www.clan-vatu.cjb.net although if you are on 56k be prepared to wait, maybe 6-8 mins im afraid... :/

There may be a lot i need help with i know but i hope someone out there can give me a pointer or two.

Reduce Movie Size
I have seen a no. of sites for eg The new MercedesBenz - E-class site
where they have used huge no. of high quality big photos. Instead
of that the site downloads very fast.
But in my case the intros where I have to use multiple photos is
always attaining a size of 1mb, which takes considerable amount of time and thus creating a problem for us who have poor internet bandwidth.
Pls. provide solution.

Reduce First Frame Size
First of all - is this normal? I've been using flash for a while, but I'm only now really digging down into it.

I have a small movie and my first frame is about 5k, so the preloader doesn't show up until about 30%/40% (testing on low bandwidth).

http://www.dougakins.com/FirstFrame.jpg

All I have in my first frame is my preloader which is all text and shapes (no images, video or anything imported - font is not embeded)

http://www.dougakins.com/Preloader.jpg

Everything I have exported for Actionscript I make sure it's not in the first frame.

Should my first frame be this big and if not how can I get it down?

How Can I Reduce The Size Of My Photo Site?
http://www.gianelladesigns.com
My site is SO big, no one wants to wait til it uploads to view it. I know there must be a way to do it with movie clips or something...but I haven't a clue where to start. It's been a while since I have worked in flash and I have forgotten most of it. If someone could explain it to me simply, I would greatly greatly appreciate it.

Thanks so much!!

Reduce Embedded Font Size
I am embedding times new roman font for scaling charcters. The times new roman font is about 400kb in size and I do not want to end up having hugh binaries just for fonts. Now I have only a few special symbols which I want to scale and not all of them. Hence I want to use embedded fonts for only those characters and use normal fonts for other characters. Can someone please suggest how this can be done.

Reduce Movie On Stage Size
Below is the coding for 3 frames(not the Flash time frame) webpage.

Below highlighted in red & bolded is the main page in which I have to change frequently. What frustrate me is I have no idea how to change the movie size(not capacity). E.g. "newmap.swf", the map I created using background size 440w x 400h pixel is too big when I post it at main page. Re-create new map with smaller size?? I spent much effort & time! After complete a movie the size can be reduced?? Have to adjust all the texts n images!

I know how to use the "embed" code like <object width="550" height="400">..., but when it mixes with other frames in a window, this method can't be used.

Anyone can help? Many thanks!!!

[F8] 16MB Image Gallery; How To Reduce Size?
Hello,
Recently I created an interactive customer guide that contains an externally-loaded SWF movie which holds a click-through image gallery. On the web the gallery takes forever to load due to its huge size of 15.9 MB which I had not looked at or considered before, unfortunately. The JPGs have even been published at 50% quality which only reduced the movie by 1 MB or so.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to reduce its size without having to redo the entire gallery. The images are all imported JPGs. It is not that big of a gallery, however when I imported each image I brought them in at their full sizes and then scaled them down in Flash.

I tried scaling them down in Photoshop and then importing them into Flash but they come into Flash extremely tiny for some reason. So instead I did as I stated above with bringing them in full size.

Even though they are scaled down, is this why the SWF is so large? How do I resolve this?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much.

How Can I Reduce Projector File Sizes?

Reduce Your .SWF File Sizes By Up To 30% W/out Losing Quality
Hey There...

There is a small chance that this might be stated somewhere else on this forum, but haven't had the time to sift through, so I'll risk the repeat.

I found this method by fluke actually, but the results amazed me that I had to share, with this great site.

Its simple

ALL!!! Images used in a flash movie (Photos, JPG's, GIF's) etc, should ALL be converted to PNG-24 in photoshop. DO NOT import JPG's into flash movies, it takes up so much space.

On export using the PNG-24's in your movie, it can reduce it by up to 30% I was doing a flash movie that was 480kb using 5 Jpg's and now with PNG-24's (same quality) at 90% of export in flash, it is 295kb.

Try for yourself

NB: Also, PNG's can keep the drop shadow effects, blur effects etc, whilst importing in flash, which means u can change your movie colour, without having to remake your image in photoshop. Just export it with a transparent background in photoshop

Why Use Flash Video When It Bumps The File Size To Outrageous Size?
I have imported a flash video into my flash movie. I have run the .mov in sorenson squeeze and have it nice and small. As soon as I import it into flash (because this is the only way I know to do it in order to run a video in flash) now I have 1024 frames and a HUGE .swf file.

So what is the point to using flash at all...or am I doing something wrong. Is there a better way to handle video within flash??

Thanks

Unchecking Export In First Frame For Components Does Not Reduce Frame 1 Size
Hey all...

I have a movie all finished up, but for some reason, frame1 is still 56K...I have deselected all "export on first frame" checkboxes, but it seems the component export classes are still loading in frame one...even the Flash help says to simply uncheck export in frame 1 in the linkage settings, but it still is not working...any ideas?

I googled it and it seems a lot of components tend to mysteriously use frame one even with the export option unchecked...if anyone has any info on how to remedy this, please let me know. Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind...I found out after some more diggin that components will ALWAYS export in the first frame, REGARDLESS of if you have unchecked the option to do so or not. I had to go into the Publish Settings and click the "Settings" button found next to the "ActionScript Version" drop-down box on the Flash tab, then simply manually change the class export frame from frame 1 to frame number 2...

I explained this in case someone else runs into this same problem down the line.

Scene File Size Huge Compared To Seperate Movie File Size?
I have a flash movie with multiple swf files imported into different movieclips throughout. Each of the imported movieclips is a seperate scene of the original movie. The thing I found out is that if I copy all the frames of scene 2 for example, and paste them into a new movie. Then publish the new movie as a swf. The file size is much smaller than the scene 2 swf when published from the original movie. Does anyone know why?

Flash Xml File And File Size?
I have a flash animation that pulls in images using an xml file. I was
wondering if the images must all load first? In other words, the images
are timed to load at different times. I was thinking, when I did this,
that the images would not be downloaded until they were called but I am
starting to doubt this.

Anyone have any idea how these images are loading?

Basically, my main concern is that they are putting too much load on the
homepage. I have a feeling I know what the answer is.

Thanks
