Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows why this is happening to me. I never had this problem before but I joined the Marvel Collab and I made a flash about Hulk. The whole thing took me 400 frames. Now when I saved it the file size came out to 45,000 KB!!! Thats without the sound so if anyone nows why this is going on please let me no.

Thanks.

Without sounds?! Oh man... the only other thing I could possibly think that could even come close is filter spamming... Or tons of special effects...

Go into publish settings and check "Generate size report". A text document with detailed information about how big everything is will show up in the same folder as your swf when you export.

Didn't know that a feature like this existed...

Is it just me or do you seem to be next to all of my posts ?

Compress sound and use as many loops as opposed to full songs as you can
If possible cut and compress sounds in another program

FUCKING STALKER !! :P

Is it just me or are you posting barely acceptable replies in every topic on the first page of the forum?

Be cautious when using this method, it works by straigtening as many curves as possible into straight lines, which can seriously alter the way your symbols and artwork looks. It does cut out a LOT of file space however, so experiment with lower settings and see where you like it.

Hey all thanks for all the replys. The swf file is about 750kb... so im not sure why the fla is so big but I will try all your ideas. All the 400 frames are is me redrawing the same picture but differently no special effect or anything. So if anyone else has other ideas please do tell :P

oh, that's fine! The repliers here assumed you were talking about the .swf size, that is the only size that matters. The .fla can be as big as you like. All the advice here is geared towards a large final file, not the .fla. You can only pay attention to the .swf size, .fla doesn't matter.
