Each layer of a Flash movie is divided into frames. Frame numbers appear along the top of the Timeline. At the current time, each layer in your movie is only one frame long. You want your movie to last 60 frames. Inserting a keyframe at Frame 60 will cause each layer to remain on the screen until Frame 60. You use keyframes to specify changes in the animation.

This article will share a raft of useful techniques that can be implemented to decrease the file size of your Flash movies, and thus have them load faster.

This is not intended to be a 'how-to' article, but rather, to provide information about what you can do to decrease the size of your Flash movies. Once you're aware of the available techniques, you can then pursue their implementation yourself.

My name is Jonathan Duran. I'm a senior Flash quality engineer on the Flash authoring team at Adobe.Some of my favorite new features in Flash CS3 Professional are ActionScript 3.0 and the coding improvements. I also really like Copy and Paste Motion and the new Pen tool.With Copy and Paste Motion, I can actually copy a tween from the Timeline and paste it directly onto another object without having to replicate the keyframes or any of the positioning in between.

Also, I really like the Adobe Photoshop importers. Now I can import my Photoshop and Illustrator files directly to Flash and maintain all of the layering and objects.

Well finally I released V2.0 and I was glad I had alot of people asking me when its release was so I took the time and finished most of it and released a beta :)

Alright enough talk lets get to the actionscripting :)

First of all the client from v1.0 hassent changed much it has more functionality thats about it for it.

My v1.0 tutorial explained most of it but now it has login capabilities which has to have a little bit more explanation :)
