I am a developer, so when I had to produce a flash to demo some photos, I chose Flex. Please see it here [fixsr.com](http://www.fixsr.com/demo/fixsr/pretty.html)  
I am fairly happy with the functionalities, but then I found out the Flickrs slideshow flash is only 1/3 of my swf size.  
Any tips to reduce the swf size from Flex development?
