I imported a 7 meg mp3 into, flash set it to soundtrack quility and now the fla is 110 megs. It still publishes small but having to wait 5 minutes to open the fla is annoying. how do I fix this?

Um. Have a smaller mp3.

Stuff like that will really bump up your file size. Have you thought of putting the mp3 into another movie and loading it separately?
