trying this again - pointers 1

[PantherRun]

Hey out there;
Now that I'm close to publishing and moving things onto the net, I'm wondering if you all have some advice on the published settings one should use. I'll be using many bitmaps, VOs, MP3 tunes, all for the broadband web. Are there certain settings one should use to keep down file sizes, ect? Files sizes now range from 3 - 6MBs.

In other words... there are default settings in flash MX, but are those "better than is necesary" for a website at 72 dpi?

Thanks
Hoss

They are not better than is necessary, but you can play with the compression settings to see where you hit the line between size and what is acceptable to you.

One other thing that is a good practice is to use the "Select Unused" option in the Library panel and remove any items that are not being used.

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
