I'm doing an online ad and for the first time really have to worry about file size (their limit is 35k!), so I spent a while in Photoshop saving the images I'm using to very small sizes without hurting the images noticably (one jpeg, one gif), such that they don't even add up to 10k. But when ...more >>

First frame too large
Posted by CowAttack at 10/4/2007 7:43:18 PM

I have created a fla to hold all the graphic elements of a project.

I've exported a Quicktime movie to Flash Video and imported it into Flash 8. When I test the resulting Flash movie, the video plays up to a certain point and then stops, before the end of the video.
