My footer file is to big (about 140k) to use on this site, because of my dancing gir, do you know a way i can lower the file size and make the footer look about the same?

This link doesnt use html, so it will appear bigger than it is, its only 300x60.
Its also to big for me to attach to this post

you could use AS instead of tweening for the lines (unless you already use AS) and you could optimize the jpg/gif image before and after you import, but that image on the right could easily be made in Flash, instead of being imported. that would make the file-size smaller.

I think he means the footer in the link, not the one he has now.
I’m guessing that you have it in flash with frame by frame animation; you can take out some of the frames in each of his little dance moves. Hell dance quicker, but he’ll still dance. Go dancing dog!
Jubba was right about optimizing. I would run each frame through Photoshop and ‘save it for web’. It’d be time consuming like nobody’s business, but it will reduce your file size.
Good luck!!
