i'm slowly learning animation...
i'll linkify these still, 'cos i don't really know what size is acceptable here.


edit: unlinikified, since the one below is only just a little smaller

better 690kb flash

220K for an anim
is fine by me

anything under250Kb is fine
but as small as possible is the reccomendation

i have read that thanks
i'm familiar with those techniques, but if anyone knows an easy way to knock out every other frame (for example), i'd be listening....

Image Ready...
Ctrl-Select every other frame, hit the trash can.

Are you afraid of a little hard work?

the size is fine
but a few useful tips...

You have the same background frame for the entire image, yet it keeps changing. If you kept the background as one frame and overlayed the arm/man/speaker blast, you'd save lots on filesize.

This is all depending you can overlay and chop stuff up in photoshop or gimp or something.
