need help to reduce file with photoshop!!

May 26, 2009 6:06 AM

I own a website flash game http://babegamer.com

I asked someone create a banner for my site but it in GIF animation with over 1.5mb. Thus, I change it into jpg with only 30kb (static banner).

 

Someone tell me convert gif to swf to reduce the size. How ever when I try to use the software to convert it, it make a swf which is bigger size then gif.

 

How can I do it?

    Hello,

     

    To benefit from swf file format you should convert (or re-create) your artwork in vector (it is raster image now). You can use Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Flash directly to create swf file contains vector graphic. It's likely you will get the desirable file size this way.

    You rebuild it in Flash! Sorry, there's no easy solution to your problem. You need to encode the stuff as FLV and then create a proper SWF from it or even better, animate everything as native layers/ symbols in Flash. Your alleged magic conversion too fails, because such tools embed each frame as a JPEG, hence such SWFs often get larger than the source. If you will - they are merely converting each frame of your GIF to a JPEG and embed it into an SWF wrapper.
