Reviewing my size report, what would you suggest I change in order to lower the overall size of the swf file. Currently it is: 172,001 k

END REPORT

Things I noticed:

- the button b\_foodshot is 86 bytes. The other buttons are identical. Why arent they all the same bytes?

- header.jpg appears to be the largest culprit. When I export header.jpg from Photoshop it displays the file size as 102k. The way I read this report is that header.jpg is compressed to 98570k. If that’s the case, what is the Compression field value for?

- the audio is as slim as I could make it, is there an optimal setting within flash to lower this value?

Cheers,
