I have a 20 second movie 230 x 129 size. The file size is 1.2 mb. I then imported it into Flash. After it’s all said and done the finall SWF is 1.7 mb. I plan to put this on my homepage, but I want the file to be smaller. I reduced the Flash .jpg and output settings to their lowest but the file remaied at 1.7 mb so this tells me the imported movie is causing the large file size here.
Is there something I can do to make my imported movie smaller so my resulting SWF is under 1 MB.
Update:
I just compressed the QT movie to 520 kb (the old movie size was 1.2 mb) and then imported it into my Flash file, then I published the SWF and the file size was still 1.7 mb. This means the Flash SWF file with an imported movie of 1.2 MB movie is the same File size as a Flash SWF file with an imported movie size of 520 kb. This doesn’t make sense to me as the SWF file size should be a lot lower.
1.2 mb imported movie. SWF file size = 1.7 mb
520 kb imported movie. SWF file size = 1.7 mb
What’s up with that?
