How to publish a small size flash site

I have made a total flash site but the exported site is 50 mb!!
Not a usable size, so I want to know how to make this site 'smaller'.
there are a ton of flash sites on the www, so I must do something wrong..
What is the normal file-size for a flash site?
pleas help.

Typically a flash file only gets that large when you embed a lot of images or video.
If you want to shrink the size of the SWF, you will want to externalize those assets somehow. If video, use progressive download and an FLVPlayback component. If images, save them to a directory and load them at runtime with a Loader component. Audio can be loaded at runtime very easily as well.
If there is detailed animation over the video that isn't interactive, export the entire animation as a video, and then load that in another file to decrease initial load time.
Typically, these days, a good size SWF comes in around 1-2 MB. Ideally it would be much smaller than that, wherein the initial load should really be about 30-60 kb, so it will open in 1-3 seconds on a 56k connection, and then all other assets load after the initial load.

How to publish a smaller SWF file

Dear Sirs,
I have create a Captivate project to output SWF file as product demo. The swf file has a high resoluation, but it is too large, I want to get it more small in file size, some compromise in quality is acceptable.
I have set a smaller Jpeg% value on SWF Size and Quality when publishing the project, but it take no effect, anyone help me? Thanks.

Hello and welcome,
Several factors will be responsible for the SWF output file. You use high resolution (ppi, 24-bit; sometimes I have better results with Optimized which cannot be set here but has to be done in the slides themselves), probably needed because of quality. You can reduce more by setting only those slides that need this high quality to High (or Optimized) and leave the others at Low but this also has to be done in the Slide Properties and then you'll have to check 'Retain Slide Quality Settings'. But what is the total resolution of your project: widthxheight? Because that is also one of the main factors! Next question: do you have audio? Audio clips add a lot more to the filesize than slides and/or graphics. If you have be sure to keep the lowest acceptible settings for the audio. Do you have video inserted? Again... adds to filesize.
Maybe this seems a stupid question, but I have so often seen files with slides that have an unneccessary long duration. Each second of a slide adds 30frames to your project...

How to publish PDF online as Flash player Flip Book

Hello,
Im not sure if this question belongs in this thread, but none the less, here it is:
How can I publish a pdf of a magazine to a website where viewers can flip through the pages like a flipbook. I noticed several publications doing this, and it seems they are using a generic template, that is simply customized for their magazine. Below are some examples of what i am looking for:
http://cmamagazine.dgtlpub.com/
http://update.dgtlpub.com/2014/2014-01-06/home.php
... I was directed to this page by one of the publishers: http://www.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/ebook/
but it does not seem as if this is the technology being used as it is more for mobile readings. Unless digital editions has a feature to publish online as a swf file.
Please help!

True, but my client is the one who sent those samples and asked for something similiar. I am doing some preliminary research before presenting options to the client.
They currently use flippingbooks, just so that viewers can enjoy virtually turning a page. However, the examples i posted have further capabilities such as an archive of the previous publications, which is what my client hopes to upgrade to.
If i were to suggest them to use epub files and actual apps to read ebooks, they may be hesitant as the viewers of the publications will have to be trained on using the new system.
They currently just send an email with a link to the online swf file, and viewers just click and start reading.
It is a bit archaic, but i want to be able to offer all options, one being this outdated swf option, and another which is what desktop publishing suite has to offer.

Nice document.
Also if you want to look at it from concurrent program log itself, then:
In the application developer responsibility
-> Concurrent
-> Program
-> Define
-> Query for short code
-> Click on Parameters
->Define the following parameter (if not existing)
Parameter Name=P_DEBUG_FLAG, attach any valueset that is YES_NO valueset.
Give
Default value=Y
Token=DebugFlag
Save.
Next time you run the Concurrent Program, the log file contains the sql executions similar to xdo logs.

Publishing white paper in sun site

I've written a white paper on concurrent garbage collection technique and it would be great if any one could advise me on how to publish it in Sun's site.
"Sun Customer Care Agent" advised me to register in "http://www.java-forums.org/" but this idea doesn't sound good to me.
Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Help:How to publish a Flash with full screen HTML

Please, guys, be kind enough to teach me how to publish a
Flash with full screen size in HTML. I have tried to search the
board, but so far no luck.
Originally, I want my .SWF to keep changing its background.
The solution I got was placing colored stage-sized rectangles on
the bottom layer. Then I don't want the viewers to see the HTML
area where I cannot seem to control smooth color changes.
So, after I construct a Flash file with backdrop-color
changing by the method I mentioned above, how do I publish it with
full screen mode in HTML, as you can see
here? Help!
Thanks in advance, guys.

Here's an AS2 and a AS3 version I got from David Stiller
2 small details you have to add 1 in publish settings set Dimensions to percent 100 100
and in the html set <style>body {margin: 0; padding: 0}</style>
// AS2
import flash.display.BitmapData;
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG():Void {
beginBitmapFill(tile);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
fillBG();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onResize = fillBG;
Stage.addListener(listener);
// AS3
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmp:Tile = new Tile(50, 50);
var tile:BitmapData = new BitmapData(50, 50);
tile.draw(bmp);
function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
graphics.beginBitmapFill(tile);
graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
graphics.endFill();
fillBG();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, fillBG);

How can I resize my Flash site to fit any screen resolution?

I built a 100% flash site with tiled framing but I have a
problem. My flash was built 766 x 750 pixiels. When viewed at
resolutions greater than 1024x768 the webpage looks great but
anything less than that it looks like @#$@. I know most people
probably view at 1024 x 768. Is there anyway to auto resize based
up on screen resolution or something to detect the screen size and
adjust the webpage accordingly.

tlcarl,
> I know most people probably view at 1024 x 768.
You think so? Even if they have their resolution that high
(which is
fairly standard, nowadays), do you think most people maximize
their browsers
to fill that whole area?

There is, indeed. :) Check out the Stage.onResize event in
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference. That event is dispatched
when the
browser (or whatever container) is resized -- in cases where
the SWF is
embedded with percentages. If that's your aim, you'll need to
code against
that event, which can be done like this ...
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-position-movie-clips-browser-resizing
It can take a bit of thought, depending on the complexity of
your goal,
but the result is usually worth it. The site in your URL is
already built,
so this wouldn't do much of anything without opening the
hood, so to speak,
and completely rebuilding the engine. A Flash movie has to be
designed and
programmed to respond to the Stage.onResize event.

How do I get the Flash site to work on the server

Hi,
I'm a beginner working with Studio 8. I have the Flash site
working as desired from my desktop, but I have issues once loaded
to the server. Hopefully someone here can point me in the right
direction.
Firstly, I would like the site to work within a non-sizeable
browser window. I am not sure how to do this.
Secondly, when I try to visit the uploaded site, it appears
not to load properly. I see an isolated movie clip loaded on the
screen, but my pre-loader never displays, and there is no animation
at all.
I am not sure where to start looking, but if you do, please
share - grateful, I will be.
-Brian

ok - here is an update.
For reasons unknow to me, the Flash site works on my pc now
that I re-published the html. Unfortunately, everyone else that I
ask to visit have to refresh their browser before they see it
animate and work.
*sigh*

How to update flash sites without flash installed

Hi,
aside from using ICE, is there a way for someone to update a flash site with pictures and text who doesn't have flsah installed on their computer? i.e., how can you add as well as replace additional text and image files without doing it in flash and publishing a swf file everytime?
Kind regards,
Steve

It depends on to what extent you mean to add new content. You can add content dynamically, but the groundwork needs to be in place in the swf for the data that defines the content to be processed as well as for placement of the content.
XML is one commonly used way of defining content. All a person needs is an ascii text editor file to change the content of an XML file, and the ability to upload that file to a server (or an interface could also be created for them to create that document online, but that's another system in itself).

How do I shrink a note to a small size

I have been using notes in Mt Lion and accidentally made each of them small so they sit open in the lower right corner of my desktop. I need to know how to do that when I need to since I can't make it happen again, I just get a full screen note. This is a stupid question, sorry, but I need to know!

If the photo is in iPhoto, you can use the File Menu Export command and that will allow you to change both size and quality, both of which will affect the file size. If you open the photo in Preview, the Preview File Menu Export command will allow you to change quality and will show the effect on file size.
