Yo!

I´m building a website that’s really heavilly illustrated. Tons and Tons of pictures. I’m 1/3 trough putting it together and my swf is already 4.1MB. I am using pictures that have been layed out in freehand, some of them are clipped, so i pass them through photoshop. I was wondering if maybe this could have something to do with the weight of my file. I mean, 4.1MB seems excessive.

So, would it make a diffrence if i saved the files first and then imported them into flash instead of copy/pastin them like i do now?

Cheers,
