Ever had to struggle with the 5 MB Limit of the newgrounds upload?

http://buraks.com/swifty/

This will compress your SWF, I had pretty good results.
Nifty if you are struggeling with the 5 MB Limit on Newgrounds.
it compressed a 500 KB file to 400 KB, and even a Flash with compressed video, 3 MB, went down to 2,6.
SO if you have a 5,2 MB Flash, the chances are good that you will get it under 5 MB.

It's a site made by the old "Flash regs" after the lounge was shut down, http://flashregs.x3fusion.com/portal.php, I'd be happy if you joined us and helpped out a bit.

We're just starting out, and can always use more tuts and content.

Lounge was shut down? You mean here? I am new here. Been here for just 3 months. So i don't know much about old NG.

Heh, does the quality stay? There is a difference between optimising and keeping quality and optimising and not keeping quality.

you can download a trial version of Flash Optimizer by eltima but i dont recommend it,because it doesnt show you all its options. if u want to see some comparisons of compressed flash files you can visit http://www.artzfx.com/optimisation/optimised.htm

Surely better then the tools i dug up, but of course, the point is that they are free :-)
All the free tools do is to recompress it, while the commercial tools probably optimize picture compression and reduce unneccesary vector info.
