I’m new to using ActionScript and decided to go back to an older project and control the movement of some of the bigger bitmaps using scripts instead of tweens. Upon saving however, it didn’t seem like it saved me anything in the file size dept to do this (even though it worked just fine) which surprises me since it seems like removing keyframes and tweens would do this. Does anyone have some insight on if and how ActionScript can be appled to reduce overall file size?

Thanks,
