This is probably a stupid question but my english is not that good , so i couldnt find an anwer by searching the forum. I hope you can understand me and help. That would be great.
I made a pretty complex animation of a talking man. I worked very hard to get my illustrator file into anime studio. Now the animation is pretty compley, but finished and looks very good.
The problem is, when i export it as an swf it has so many bugs!
Sometimes you see layers that disappear for a moment or some layers disappear completly. Why is that?
And the most important thing:
I did it all in vector because i needed to have a veeeery small file. Now the file is pretty big. Why is that? I did it all in vectors?!
As an swf it should be very small- right?
Another question i have: In the beginning i had only one layer with a small red dot ( not optimized) and afetr working a while, suddenly a of layers have a small red dot? How can i optimize the layers again? maybe that has to do with the solution???
I´m pretty desperate- i hope one of you guys can help me out?
Sorry for my strangenglish

1. The red dot indicates an optimized layer which will be treated as a symbol in Flash.
2. An Illustrator file is probably not the best way to start a character if you're aiming at a very small file size.
3. If you really need to optimize stuff for small file size, you need to do that in Flash. AS uses the SWF format only as a container to get the vector information over to Flash. AS doesn't use the many tricks of Flash, like symbols and movie clips, to keep files very small.
