Importing Assets Intelligently

[hdon]

Hi,

I am looking for information on how to best import assets from Illustrator and Photoshop to get a low file size for the final swf. In particular:

I have text that has been effected in Photoshop and a few images that can be brought in from Photoshop or illustrator. Right now I am exporting for web and bringing to Flash. Looks good but file size of end swf too big. I have gotten .fla files before from so-workers that have text or graphics as shape objects rather than images - is that possible and how is it done?

Any help or direction to resource that explains this would be much appreciated (been searching for a while & haven't found a direct answer)

Thanks!
