[F8] Reducing Lags in Website

[tongxn]

I'm making my homepage as usual, then i tested it... And it surprised me how much this 30 fps movie slowed down.
Here are the features:

• A clock
• a mouse imposer
• a snowflake which detonates from the mouse when the mouse moved
• some buttons with attachMovie()linkages
• a logo which is a 40 framebyframe animation (3D)

pretty much it really.
The real thing that slows the system down is the snowflake detonation. But i dont want to loose the effect. what can I do to speed up this thing without loosing quality?
Thanks!

as usualy.. any un-need 'running' code will do it.

ie: a bunch of running:

onEnterFrame & onClipEvent(enterFrame) codes just running when not needing to.

multiple motion tweens will also do this.

complex 3D animations can also do this.. and most likely they are motion/frame animations.

how big is the .SWF when published?
