I’m working on a final schoolproject at the moment and the file size is getting really large… Because I might update this project later with more footage, I’ve already put a lot of code on the buttons which I have put between comment tags for now, so I’ll be able to update it later easily.

The max on our project is 10MB, now there is a lot of external footage like sound and video, but still all the flash files together are taking up a lot of space.

Does anyone know if a lot of comments in the code have any effect on file size?
