I am working on a very large consumer site right now and have to develop a flash movie for the main page ala http://www.sharp-usa.com/
Currently the page is about 12k. Pretty good loading, I am just afraid that when I load the flash, it will change the overall size to 120k. Not good for consumer based sites. I can use a pre loader, but I don't want to sit there and load 500k. What would be the point? I also want all of the animation to run smooth. So the frame rate is anywhere from 30 - 60 fps. Any suggestions on what I should do to keep the size down or what frame rate would still keep a consistently smooth animation on 56k modems.
Thanks in advance.

Just use the bandwidth profiler to make sure you've loaded enough content to start playing.
eg. my site needs 240K to load the main content, but it will start playing after only 100K has loaded.
Most of my other flash animations I always try to do the same thing, and test it on 33.6K with the bandwidth profiler. I recently did one for a client that was 250K and it only needed 40K to start playing and stream the rest without pausing on a 33K.

Performing motion tweens with actionscript instead of keyframes can cut your size down a lot.
