I just started using Flash 3 days ago... (still got 28 days left.. lol) Any
way I have some compression questions:

I have made a clip of me morphing into my son with another program, and
exported each frame as a jpg, then I imported jpg's into flash. I know have
made a flash movie/document that morphs back and forth by editing each of the
24 frames used me to morph me into my son, then I could not find a play
backwards command or action so I just copied and pasted the frames, then
reversed the second set. I am wondering since the asset is same for two frames
in the file, if flash added the same asset twice wile compressing the file.

Second question: I have tried every thing I can find inside of flash to get a
smaller file size. I started out with the defalt jpg compression set at
something like 80, and moved it to 15 and that didn't do it. I changed the
quality from high to low and still no change in file size what so ever.

Thank you for your time,
Eric

From what you're describing I guess you're changing the jpeg compression in the
Publish Settings-Flash dialog box, right? Did you check whether your jpegs are
set to use the default document compression?
To do this, right-click them in the library and choose Properties....
Make sure that "Compression: Photo(JPEG)" and "Use document default quality"
are selected.
Good luck
