Question regarding background music

I have put together a flash intro using Flash MX for a site I am designing. Now I wan’t to add some music to play in the background. The question I have is, how do I keep the file size down? I notice that alot of the sound loops that I have seen have pretty big file sizes…like 1000k and up. Won’t that make my flash movie too big? Is there a trick that I don’t know about or something?

Any info anyone could share would be great.

Thanks

i used flash kit to get my music loop. they have alot of sections to choose from. i tried to add real music to my site before but it was a bad idea because of the file size. i would suggest going to http://www.flashkit.com/loops/.

hope this helps:)

I did check out Flash Kit…but most of their loops are pretty big in file size…

Whats a realistic file size for a flash intro to a site?

i am really not sure. sorry i am a newbie at flash
