Digital Workshop

Thinking out loud here, but perhaps someone would like to join in...

I've got a full screen Opus presentation.

Not the client would like it as an swf file.

By turning it into a flex pub, I can output it as swf... and it looks fine, but

a) the file size is huge

b) the resulting image doesn't need to be that big - the flash would look fine at 320*240, instead of its current 1024*768

I appreciate I can alter the playback size in htm, but this isn't what I want - I want a smaller output size in the first place, to reduce the file size.

So I'm wondering how to reduce the pixel size of the presentation BEFORE I output it to flash. It's quite heavy on graphics, with many layers, so difficult to resize manually.

I tried importing the swf file into flash to reduce it there, but it doesn't import correctly.

Any other ideas?

Linda,

Are you doing anything special with your presentation? The reason I ask is I just did a quick test of taking an EXE and "Flexing" it. The EXE was 2 MB. The SWF was 184K. So I'm wondering why your SWF is bigger than the EXE.
