Hey guys,

I am new to flash, I have followed a few tutorials I found to learn the basics of creating some banner ads with mild animations (IE- image slide ins, image fade in/out etc).

The problem I am having is this: My company is doing some banner advertisement with Yahoo and they want me to make 2 banners which can be the dimensions of my choosing. The catch is that the file size has to be at MOST 40k...

I have found this to be a challenge. I create the graphics in photoshop and then attempt to create it in flash. I cant seem to get it under 40k without it looking like complete garbage.

What is confusing me is I look at others advertising on Yahoo and they have crisp text and images.

Is there something I am missing or can anyone shed light on the proper direction I should be looking for creating these 40k banners?

Thanks!
