Hello All,

I’ve made some rather large .swf files in the past and have decided to go back and make them more cpu friendly but when I follow the steps to compress my .jpg’s and wav’s I end up with a larger .swf!!! What would this result from?

changing the wav to mp3 format

make sure you delete the old wav from the library (press ctrl+L), so only the mp3 is there, not the wav. check the library for any duplicate files and thing that you dont need. once you’ve done that: ‘save as’ and save over the old file and publish.

hmmm. uh, so then, what am I doing wrong as it never creates a second library item it only seems to adjust the current one?

Adjust it?

Try to delete the entire item, from the stage and the library and re import the mp3 file.
