Reducing the size of my swf.

[Kio-Xion]

How can I reduce the size on my swf, because it is under 4000 frames and its already over 10 mb
but Alvin-Earthworm almost had 16000 frames but it was still under 10 mb.

maybe use less sounds
make sounds .wav instead of mp3
use short loops instead of full songs

How do I shorten the song?

Get a program like Audacity (it's free) and you can edit .wavs and .mp3s.

Also, if you use many JPG-files, go to the image properties and switch the Quality to medium.

Lack of compression

Compression is good for file size, bad for image quality. You've gotta take what you can.
Also, you can set the sound quality lower in the publish settings menu. If they're already at the default low setting and you're over 10 megs... well, that's just unfortunate.

If you want the music to stop playing at the end of the timeline or when you instert a blank keyframe on the sound's layer, set the sound property to stream. Click the sound layer, open properties, look for synch and choose Stream.

If it isn't on Stream then the music can carry on playing once the timeline is exhausted, wasting lotsa space.
