Importing classes does not increases SWF size

Question

Hi, there!
I was doing tests, and realized that the some classes of AS3
does not increases the size of the SWFs. In AS2 UIComponent class,
for sample, the SWF increases 4 kbytes importing this class
(UIComponent).
So, I ask you: which classes does increase files size?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, Andrei!
I've already tested instancing then. And the SWF file became
636 BYTES, not even 1 Kb. I believe that this size (636 bytes) are
only about the bytes of the characters of the Class. Look the code
below:
package
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.filters.BevelFilter;
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
import flash.text.TextField;
public class Main extends MovieClip
private var e:BlurFilter;
private var e1:DropShadowFilter;
private var e2:TextField;
private var e3:GlowFilter;
private var e4:BevelFilter;
private var e5:ColorMatrixFilter;
private var load:Loader;
public function Main()
load = new Loader();
e = new BlurFilter();
e1 = new DropShadowFilter();
e3 = new GlowFilter();
e4 = new BevelFilter();
e5 = new ColorMatrixFilter();
te.filters = [e, e1, e3, e4, e5];
e2 = new TextField();
e2.text = "CaioToOn!";
addChild(e2);
It really don't increases the file size. Only because of the
extra characters.
