How to Reduce Flash Banner File Size on Mac
Flash banners are widely used on websites because unlike picture banner, they are moving, active and eye-catching. The only disadvantage may be the SWF file size. To ensure a low buffering lag, you can mandate your web server on famous networks, but it may cost a fortune. In fact you can reduce the file size of the contents you use on the website, like text, picture, video, template, etc. to makes things better. And reduce Flash banner file size is one of them. Here are some tips on how to reduce SWF file size when creating the Flash banner.
1. Use texts as much as you can. They are very small in size, and if you use only one font per banner, you can make your banner look professional by playing with colors and sizes.
2. Reuse everything. When you reuse the same symbol, the same image (without resizing at the end), the same text, the same patterns, you are not increasing the file size almost at all.
3. Use slides. Slides are not increasing your file size almost at all. You can make cool transitions and tell stories by breaking your banner into a few slides and reusing most of the weighted content.
