Bitmap or vectors? 1mb >< 100kb

[adelante]

I got some drawings - clipsart style, and they are about 1 mb in the adobe illustrator format.

When I convert them to jpgs or whatever they are way smaller! maybe just 100 kb

Should I let them stay vector or save them as bitmaps?? forexample PNG

It's all done now, and the final flash animation is just 62 kb!

I dont know why the initial files had to be that big, but it's all fine.

Thanks!
