Has anyone used Optimaze yet? Does it reduce the file size enough to be worth buying?

Hey emboli,  
No, I haven’t used Optimaze yet. Their reports say that SWF files are significantly reduced in size. I don’t have any first-hand experience to tell you if it is true or not though ☹

Cheers!

I find that just importing my Swift3D output into Flash and then exporting it again I can reduce file size from 50 kb to 5kb. and usually this is good enough.
