RE: File size (buttons, labels & frame actions)

[Yalcin Yilmaz]

Hi Andrew.. 


Are any of your buttons/labels appearing in any consecutive

frames (with same button actions properties??) Perhaps you

can try putting these buttons/labels or any other object into a

separate layer - anything which does not require keyframes..

As long as frames following a keyframe are not keyframes 

(or tweened) the frame's addition to the file size (for the 

particular layer) will only be a few bytes. 


Try to use key frames as little as possible. Add only the 

essential, required elements into keyframes and move all

non-changing elements into another layer with a single key

frame.

Can you tell me if buttons, labels & frame actions ad significantly to file

size.


I have a flash file which has 250 odd key frames (needed!), each one with

+/- 8 buttons (all the same button from the library)

each button also has a tell target/ go to action in each. other than that I

have about 5 other *small* symbols...


The .swf file is 103K and the report generated says that each frame is 465

bytes (ow!?!), what gives?
