How to get an ad under 30kb?
I don't understand how I can get an add to be under 30kb. This is for a 300x250.
You can see the add at [url]http://www.mikeathome.net/pc/[/url]
I've compresse the swf... put the images to 40% quality.
When looking at the biggest element in it, it is the AS 2.0 classes. They seem
to be taking up 38kb.
The only thing in there are some strings variables and the getUrls.
Well a few conditional statement as well.
Even if I loaded the images in the as instead of embedding them in the
movie.. it would still be over 30kb.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is the size report. Thanks for any info!

mjpawlowsky,
This is entirely because you're using UI Components. While they can be> When looking at the biggest element in it, it is the AS 2.0 classes.
great for applications, they're just too heavy for a banner ad.. Drop 'em.
If you need buttons, use a button symbol. :)

First thanks for the reply!
It's not a button I need, but a Text Input Field.
Anyway around not using a component for that.

mjpawlowsky,
Use the Text Tool in the Flash toolbar (icon looks like an A).> It's not a button I need, but a Text Input Field.
> Anyway around not using a component for that.
TextFields have three choices: static, dynamic, and input, which you can
set in the Properties inspector.

It's just a text field set to input text, right?

don't use bitmaps,i.e. don't import any images, use flash vector images instead. if you want to use a bitmap, make sure it is a small image, and or lower quality.

Well by changing the textInput box from a component to a regular inputText box, I now got it down to 27kb.
Thanks!
