in the publish export options, check "generate file size report" have a look at it to see what is going on

file size will increase as you begin to add to the timeline regardless if you're using the same graphic... you're adding animation information to the file
- flashbender0
also depends on what kind of tween you are doing - shape vs. mc.
either way - the file size report should shed some light on where the extra weight is coming from

Add a frame should not increase size by THAT much. Using a tween engine will help. You aren't using bitmaps, are you?

Re-calibrate the bitflow to accomodate bi-parsal upsampling. You can use a twark app or splice it manually in the backstream.

- jesus christ! I understood "accommodate" and "manually".Projectile
- I guess it depends on what level you are at.Orbit
- you idiot... you can't recalibrate the bitflow... you have to reROUTE it through bi-parsal upsampling systemPonyBoy
- With Twark you can do this. Its a little out there right now, but trust me, we are doing this with considerable success already.Orbit
- This is what Actionscript 3 sounds like to me sometimes.CyBrain
- hm mm that's the way to go. twark rules.satan

no, not bitmaps. (tried that too but looks rubbish under 50k) about 10 shapes with gradient to alpha 0% converted to a graphic, then multiplied x24
Never heard of or used a tweening engine. Any good tuts on this? Is it possible for someone who struggles with stop(); to get his thick head around? hmmmmm I have seen "paste motion as action script" when I right-click a tween. Might that be an option.. at all, ever?

yikes... your gradients are going to be murder on the animation...
... make sure you cache that movieclip as a bitmap

Tween engines are very easy to learn. This one is great. It works for AS2 and AS3. There are even flash demos on this page that generate code for you. http://blog.greensock.com/tweenl…
