» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
We all want to put bitmaps into our sites, but they make the size of the final
SWF unacceptable! Ok, here are some tips on how to do your images so that they
don't bankrupt your file size!
Image optimization can be tough. I generally recommend the following:
Size the image to the exact size that you will be using in Flash - no need
paying for those extra bytes.
Export the image out of your image tool (PhotoShop or such) at a reasonably
high resolution.
Save as either JPG, PNG, or BMP depending on size and your intended use.
Avoid all but the simplest of GIFs, Flash hates GIFs.
Import into Flash and let Flash do the compression using the Publish Settings
features.
Publish with AntiAliasing on and off to see how you like it best.
