browser.

Reduce the size of a SWF file

You can reduce the size of the published Flash (SWF) file during the publishing process. However, the quality of the

published file is compromised.

“Change project size and quality” on page 191.

Note: The quality of the file increases as you move to the top of the slider, with a corresponding increase in file size.
