    you gotta choose the best compression method depending on what kind of image it is.

    for photos and illustrations where there is a large number of colors and less hard lined art, set the compression method to JPG.

    for line art, logos, and artwork that has a smaller pallete, use the try lossless. it probably uses some form of RLE encoding and you will actually get a smaller file size (depends on the artwork though)

    I would save ALL of your images out of photoshop at the highest quality you can. Compressing them twice (first in PS, then in Flash) will not only lead to worse quality, but in some cases, larger files.
