Flash Optimizer Usage Scenarios

    

Flash Optimizer 2.0

Chris has been dealing with Macromedia Flash for quite a while now. It lets him implement his most unusual ideas into visible projects without any limits… Except for one problem, which he faces with almost all of his SWF files. Though Flash looks great on the Web, it sometimes takes way too much time to load-and no matter how incredible a web-site is, the impression will be lost.

"I really hated to wait for Flash movies to load and didn't want to bear it anymore. I made a search on a SWF optimizing tool on the Web, and came up with SoftInfinity's Flash Optimizer. The first thing I liked about the program as soon as I read its description on the site was that I could try it right away and see how it works, as it has NO feature limits in the trial version. Secondly, I can usually tell how the program will work by just looking at its interface - FO is professionally done and I thought it would be a pleasure to work with this program. But here's the most important part. I chose compression options to optimize one of my SWFs. I especially enjoyed this feature, as it gave me full control of that optimization process. Plus, the preview feature helped greatly with choosing most suitable optimization type. So, in the result I had a 6.816 kb SWF file, while its original size was 14.363, which means 53% optimization - and I couldn't spot any differences between the two files!"

Now Chris McKee uses Flash Optimizer to:

Make his Flash movies download faster Make his SWF files much smaller in only one click Save not only his hard drive and server load but also visitors bandwidth and time

"I now use FO to optimize all of my Flash design. I am so glad that neither people who visit my sites nor I have to wait for the Flash part to load."
