problems with large file sizes

[mursain]

For further preparation, I have to importe an animated gif in Flash.
The original file size was 20 kb.
In Flash, when I publish that animated gif to HTML, I get following file sizes:
fla: 173 kb
swf: 98 kb
gif: 16 kb

I have to work with the swf-file for a webdocument, but 98 kb is much to much (and after preparation there are further 10 kbs).

Exist their a possibility, to use the small animated gif (loop) in one layer as background, and add another layer with another animation to hold the file-size small?

yeah, its called loadMovie.
This way u can have a base swf that loads when u enter the htmlpage, and from there u can load additional swf's into different layers or empty MC's on your base swf. The total filesize would still be big, but since they only load what they actually want, access is a lot faster.

I think, that´s what I need. Thanks!
