    flash compression software?

    anyone out there know of any .swf compression software or softwares that can be used to bring the amount down in size.

    3d Animation, when imported into flash is still to large and animation will have sounds as well.

    If anyone knows this that would be awsome...

      Because the .swf is the compiled version of a .fla there really is no way to compress a .swf after it has been compiled. Your best bet is to have Flash generate a log file for the entire movie see where your movie is heavy and focus on finding ways to decrease the size of that particular piece of the movie. When using vector graphics, especially ones generated outside of flash you will almost always have large file sizes. Try to keep gradients/alphas to a minimum when using vector. With audio you are better off converting all .wav files to .mp3 files with a third party tool other than Flash, it does not do a very good job at it. Also, if you are using bitmaps(jpeg, png etc.) compress those before importing them into Flash. Once they are imported be sure to check that they are using the desired setting for compression within flash.

          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
