Cool man glad I can help. Most peeps think that flash compression is good enough. I drag all my images thru fireworks first then import them in to flash.

I save my images at the highest quality from Photoshop, import them into Flash and adjust the properties as needed.

Probably not always the best thing to do, but if I use images in my Flash it is usually just a test thing and I am not concerned on fil size.

Thats what I did to drop the file size down … I didnt optimize it in ImageReady (like i would do with regular web graphics), i just adjusted the image quality in flash. It seems you get the same results, and more control over how much optimization you want, right inside of flash.
