I got some tips - I hope they help.
1. Don't use pasted-on pictures in bitmap format unless if you have to - try to use the tools on flash to draw stuff you don't really need bitmaps for them - e.g. drawing a few lines, circles, and anything simple, and even some complicated stuff that involve straight lines, solid fills, linear & radial gradients, arcs, shapes, etc.
2. Compress sounds by going to their properties and converting them to different formats like mp3.

As long as the movie's less than 5 megs, it's ok on NewGrounds. Good luck on your movies - spend time on them and trust me, a lot of people would want to watch them. And even if they're crappy, people still do watch them to decide if they should be blammed or protected.
