Shockwave file bigger than the Flash file errror
Hello out there,
I have a bizarre problem that I've never encountered before in Flash:
my Flash movie is actually *smaller* than the Shockwave file when I publish!
Anyone ever had this problem before??
thanks!

Yeah, weird, huh. The strange thing is I have been super careful, reusing instances of graphics and coloring them, changing size etc to make them look like new objects to keep the library small.
I even counted all the filesize of the individual filmclips that are in the movie and they are much smaller than the Shockwave file. The Shockwave file is about 500 k bigger than the sum total of these animations.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know!

I actually solved this problem a while back but forgot to post it.
The problem was that having many objects on the "stage" at once all changing opacity makes the file very large very quickly. I had, for example, an animation where a group of carrots (all instances of one carrot) go from 0 to 100% opacity over a few seconds... Somehow that animation was about 600 k, while the "still" carrot was like 3k! I changed the animation, leaving the opacity at 100% the whole time, and the animation became like 50 k.
So, hope that helps someone else out there!
Sarah
