I have a flash intro that I've been working on, and decided to use some of the text effects from SWISH and import them into my flash intro. I made about 8 different text effects in SWISH and exported them out. The file size of each of the exported files done in SWISH was about 4KB to 5KB each. When I imported the files into my intro movie in flash and finally exported the final movie with my intro and the text effects to my surprise the file size of my movie had jumped from 110KB(with out the imported text effects) to 355KB(with the text effects imported).... now can somebody help me here, Why such a big difference with the file size? ..... If the added total of the 8 exported files from SWISH was about 40KB, then why did my movie jumped about 245BK in file size as apposed to the "40KB" that theoretically it should have when I imported the files into flash. If there any way to keep the file size down from going up like crazy when importing it into Flash and then exporting the final movie??? Any help here would be greatly apreciated?
