Hitting a specific file size when exporting from Flash CS5

I need to export three banners to .swf from flash and they all need to be under 61K.  They all use photographs and are 5-7 seconds long each and the dimentions are 300x250 px, 300x600 px & 728x90 px.  Is there any way I can put in the specific file size in the program and make it under 61k?  I tried using the publish settings and lowering the quality and even at 40% quality the file size only went down 20KB from 147 to 127.  If you cannot do that in the program is there any third party programs that can be used to do this?  Thanks for your help!

    What you should do is set the Publish Settings to generate a size report.  That way you will have a detailed listing of what each element of the design contributes to the file weight.  I would guess that the images are going to be the heavy hitters, so you might need to use image software to optimize them as much as possible before importing them into Flash.
