Hi all, I'm doing a bunch of animation for Curious Labs' website and I'm having a lot of trouble keeping the file sizes down. I've attached a link to a test that looks the way I want it but the file size is twice as large as I'd like it. (Reduce the window to around 150 pixels high to see it at the proper size) Does anyone have any tips on reducing the size without making too many sacrifices in quality? BTW, I don't own Flash, I think that I have a free version on a cover cd from Computer Arts magazine (time limited) but I'm not a flash user. For this test, I rendered a movie in Poser as individual tiffs, imported them into Fireworks, locked the colours that I wanted to keep, then exported as a gif with 9 colours. I imported the gif into Premiere, exported as an AVI, imported the AVI into Poser, then exported as a Flash file from the AVI (I deleted the Poser character first so only the background avi was there. Yes, Poser makes Flash files out of any source, 3D or 2D. The only way I can think of to reduce the file size is to reduce the number of colours but it will be difficult to get it any lower without completely flattening the image. Any ideas? Chris
