Huge file - is this wrong?

I am developing an instructional, flash-based CD-rom - about 8 sections, each with something like 5-10 min. of menus, content, animations, vo and music tracks. To an extent, I don’t care about the size because it won’t be accessible via the internet .

However, my file size seems enormous (my .fla is ~185mb, main .swf is ~12mb and sectional .swfs (those 8 sections) about 1m each). Publishing takes about 10 min.

I’m hoping someone tells me this is “normal”, but I have done all sorts of hunting through forums and online and can’t find any info on what might be considered a ridiculously huge file.

Thanks for any quick advice!
