Text size/file size

1

I just realized that the “Loading Data” text I use on the 1st frame of my movie preloader weighs in at a whopping 135KB! Even the static symbol file for the Loading Data text alone is 79KB!

Does anyone know of a way to bring down the file size? It seems like I could draw something similar at a fraction of the size.

I am using a simple static font (called JH Titles) at 28pt size and tweening the brightness -100 to +100.

Seems like the tween of the text is killing you, try breaking the text apart to the canvas layer then animating that.
