Movie Clip File Size

[Jawnduss]

I have a really large movie clip incorporated in a tween, and the only reason it's so large (in memory) is because it has several other movie clips inside it that also have filters on them. but this make's the run time of my tween become elongated due to lag. is there anyway to compress it, but keeping all the filters and MC's intact?

the filters are what's killing you. embedded MC's within MC's dont cause too much strain on the swf, but filters will 10-fold

Is there anyway to keep the filter effects? such as blurs, but drop the actual filter?

blur the image in photoshop and bring it into flash as a png. might make it run slow depending on the color image of the pic though.
