Hi!  
I have a flash file which I saved to .swf, but I have a problem.  
the swf takes about 35kb but when I import a picture around 170 kb the swf file take around 200kb:(☹  
can I in anyway make the swf smaller without losing the quality so much?  
I hope someone can help me,  
I would appreciate an answer…

/Thanx, Ayaz
