hey how do i scale down the size of the picture eh? i have small movie 300x200 pixels with a picture background and it’s already 105 kb how do i scale it down?:-\ and if i upload a .swf movie to a server do i have to upload the .html together with it?
You could check the resolution of the image you are using.
If it’s a .jpg file, maybe you can scale it down more by setting the quality of compression at a lower level.
And yes, you need to upload the html file that has the swf file embedded in it as well.
Hope it helps.
make sure you scale the image to the correct size before you import it into flash. if your image is 800X600 for example and then you scale it down in flash it tends to give you a bigger file size… if you scale your image in photoshop for example and THEN take it to flash it should give you a smaller size…
also check your jpeg export resolution in your publish settings…
sometimes using a .png format instead .jpg format for the original file gives you a faster download… when you publish your flash file it will automatically convert all your bitmap images (png, jpg, tif, bmp, etc) to jpeg.
besides, you can do so many cool things with png (like semi-transparent colors/gradients).
