Reducing File Size When .JPGs Are Included?
Dec 10, 2009
At my job I frequently have to create Flash banners for major newspaper's websites. The specs that usually come in require a max file size of 30k or so. Usually my art department will hand me 3 or 4 screens that they want to simply move through in a loop. No biggie, until they start adding images to the files.
When I complain to them that the images are making the file sizes too big I am usually queried as to how other advertisers on these sites have full video in their ads. I understand that there are pre-loaders as well as allowed larger file sizes if you pay more for the ads.
getting image sizes down in Flash so that the images don't end up looking horrible?

I have a 3D animation that is rendered to bmp frames.I have inserted the animations into a Flash doc.After editing, my final Flash movie/file is 20MB.what are the best ways of reducing or compressing the file size down to a resonable "web-ready" level? Around 8MB or lower

I've got an XML file which is sitting at about 300k and will only get bigger. The tag names are quite verbose so it's frustrating because it's obvious the file size would be a lot smaller if those tag names were only a couple of characters long.I'm not sure if I'm using the term "tokenizing" right, but does anyone know of a method to convert verbose text into a series of unique shorthand "tokens" or markers... and back again? I don't want to change the tag names as the logic within flash refers to them so it would mean an annoying rewrite.

I have a mov file that's 125 megabytes. I try running it on my page within a javascript scroller animation and the animation is very choppy and in fact I used css to simulate a mask but the thing doesn't get masked, probably do to the sluggishness of whole page, the page never fully loads, and the movie file makes it nearly impossible to scroll through the page. The file is just too huge.
My question is:
1) Should I convert the mov to swf - that is, is swf a more compatible and appropriate format for seamless integration in html web page?
2) Whichever I choose, how do I reduce the file size - like on youtube where the videos run seamlessly? I don't know how they are doing that.
I do have Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, if that matters.

I building a website and i have animations from after effects I will be importing into flash. Any time a menu button is clicked it triggers the flash timeline and plays the corresponding anumation embedded in different flash graphics. Also before the webpage moves to the main page an Flv is streamed (90seconds log. It is not embedded it is streamed). I have about 260 frames of jpegs Already compressed to about 70k each for each image. how I can reduce my file size? also my time line is 2750 frames long. This is for a client and the client requested all the animation, so how can I make this work, currently my swf file is 14.6mb

I could really use some help here, I'm trying to reduce the size of my animation for obvious reasons, usually ends up about 4mbs, im exporting from swift 3d, about 200-250 frames depending on editing. When I import the animation into flash to work with my website the resulting file is too large I think :P I was told to export from swift in avi and then import to flash after converting. Thats definetly reduced the filesize, but when I import to flash cs5 I get an empty symbol even after export from flash, nothing shows in the symbol.Can anyone tell me if im doing this right, or another way to reduce the filesize.

I created a file which has several songs and these songs are 3 minutes in length each. Currently, these songs are looped forever. If I make it not loop, would that decrease the size of the file?

I notice that Flash makes changes to a stage size to the right. Is there a way of making the change so it expands out from a central point, i suppose like photoshop and similar. This has caused me some problems in the past when a client has asked for the site to be increased or reduced in width for example, and it can take a considerable ammount of time to move everything accordinly

I'm building a Flash site that features a three-dimensional interface and I'm facing a significant file size problem, which will mean serious bandwidth problems when the site is online. I don't particularly want to go the route of actually bringing a 3D object into Flash, mainly because my object features transparency (it's made from glass) and papervision3d confuses me to no end. So I have two options: import as video or import as image sequence.
So I went with the image sequence idea. It was easy for me to give the viewer the ability to scrub back and forth through the looped animation and click on certain things at certain times (using invisible buttons). This gives the appearance the viewer is in a three-dimensional word, albeit on a fixed path backwards and forwards, much like a roller coaster
There's also an array of buttons down the bottom of the website that you can click on, and it will play through the image sequence (either in forward or reverse). So that works great, but even with high compression of jpegs and a low 12 fps, the swf file will be somewhere between 10 and 30mb, which is quite ridiculous!
Possible solutions include reducing the amount of images I use in the sequence, squishing it down to half the amount of images. Reducing the size of the images down to something smaller, like 800 x 600. But do you think I would get better results if I can import this as a movie instead and try to control the movie? Can I have the same control if it's an actual video file and not an image sequence?

If you have an .as file in the global include directory do you have to upload it to your server with the flash file or does it compile the flash file with the included info?

I am trying to center align a caption for a Photo Gallery.But by default the captions are aligning to Paragraph Left.You can view the link here:
Photo Gallery
-------------------------------------------------
Here is the text format code from the accompanying *.as file:
-------------------------------------------------
var tf:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
tf.font='Verdana';
tf.color=0x3;
tf.align=TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
var t:TextField=new TextField();
t.embedFonts=true;
t.alpha=0;
t.selectable=false;
t.setTextFormat(tf);
addChild(t);
-----------------------------------------------
To have an idea i also included the source file *.as files.

I am trying to develop an android extension for air, but I have a problem with resources.According to this : Official adobe doc - FREContext and this Extending AIR by Oliver Goldman We simply have to add the resources we need in the res file of the Native part, then they are added inside the .ane file and passed to the final apk. In order to access them though we have to use getResourceId( "drawable.background_image" ) instead of R.drawable.background_image
But when I generate my extension, the res file is actually not even included anywhere inside the .ane file and also not inside the final apk. And I have found not a single extension on the net using resources (not even in the adobe samples)For this test I simply use the basic Hello world Vibrate test, but I added a new png in the drawable folder.As you can see while unziping the .ane file, then going to META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM the res file is absent.As a result, the program crashes when I try to access my resource FREContext.getResourceId("drawable.ppy_accessory_manage.png")
PS, here is my batch to compile the ANE :
set adt_directory=C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.6sdks4.6.0in
set root_directory=C:UsershugoAdobe Flash Builder 4.6
set library_directory=%root_directory%HelloANELibrary

I made a preloader for my single scene movie and although the preloader is about 16k, when placed into frame 1 of the movie and tested, the frame is shown to have about 256k, which is larger than the movie it's loading. I've gone through all the files and made sure that export in frame 1 is not checked and made sure the publish settings also are set to export in frame 1.

I have a game were there are a lot of little guys moving around on the screen independently of each other and I have a function for zooming in and zooming out. I want the guys to look good when I zoom in but not lag when I zoom out and show a lot of them. What I'm thinking of doing is just making different levels of detail that it uses for the guys at different zoom distances.I don't know what makes vector graphics lag. Is it the number of shapes it has to redraw every time something moves? Or is it just determined by the number of objects on the screen at a time regardless of detail? I want to know if it would make a big difference in lag before I go redraw everything because it would be a big task and I don't want it to be for nothing.

I am making a websites with fairly large videos in the background.The site is extremely heavy for the cpu and I was wondering if any of you guys know a trick on how to make flv streaming less heavy.Here are all my specs :
Large flv (920 x460), with alpha channel (transparent background), Max data rate:300kbs,
codec : On2 VP6 encode alpha channel, framerate : same as source.
Using progressive download
Video plays in a flvplayback instance nested in a swf that is loaded and added to the stage by an other swf.
Embed in the html page with swfobject, wmode = opaque.
Movie playing at 31 fps.

Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?

I'm trying to scale my timebar according to the time. So the longer the time passed the timebar will reduce. It's kind of opposite from the preloader bar. But when I tried my loading bar is increasing towards the left. Is there a way I can make it look like the bar is reducing?
function countTime():void{
var startTime:int = getTimer();
// this is for the seconds
var seconds:int = Math.floor(startTime/1000);
// this is for the minutes ...
var minutes:int = Math.floor(seconds/60);
seconds -= minutes*60;
time_mc.scaleX= -second
trace(minutes +":"+seconds);

I imported a clean looking high-res jpeg into Flash CS4.Then using properties, I reduced it with the position and size function.I reduced it by half.When I do this, the image is not clean and sharp any more but pixelly.In the image the arrow points to the reduced image on the stage and when previewed.Also, you'll see the size numbers display too.If I need to reduce images and logos like this, is there a better way to do this so the image looks sharp when reduced?I am only interested in knowing how to do this using the "tools" not actionscript.
