So im trying to keep my flash movie as small as possible. So far the movie is sitting at 10.4kb. If i go back into the fla and type ONE WORD of just plain white text -no tween, fade or anything, the movie after exported jumps to 11.5k. ??? One word typed in Flash with no tween adds a full 1k??

Is that right? I would think one word of text should be a couple of bytes.

Anyone have any suggestions?
