FLA Optimisation - Design Considerations
Author: Eddie Carroll
Kill the excess art
When you create artwork ensure that you kill any unnecessary lines and parts of the picture that you don't require. Limit the number of special line types such as dashed, dotted, ragged, and so on. Solid lines are smaller and lines created with the pencil tool require less memory than brush strokes. As for imported files, make sure there are no hidden lines or objects. Flash also provides you with Smooth, Straighten and Optimise Curves options which refines curved lines and fill outlines by reducing the number of curves used to define the artwork. Optimizing curves also reduces the size of the Flash movie and the size of exported Flash Player movie.
Use the slider to specify the degree of smoothing. Check the Use Multiple Passes option to repeat the smoothing process until no further optimization can be accomplished. The Show Totals Message option displays an alert box that indicates the extent of the optimization when smoothing is complete.
