The minimum swf is about 135K, as you add components, charts, FDS, etc it starts to build up and you can get to 200K easily. If you stuck in one of everything, you'd be up past 600K. However, you must also note that SWFs are compressed so copying and pasting similar code isn't going to get you linear changes, it will likely compress well. The player won't ever build-in the framework as we'd like to change it independently of the player. However, we are looking into caching the framework in a special player cache which will have a noticeable savings on your apps. However, I'd still expect any serious app to be 100K of your own code. Note that you can usually use modules to further shrink the initial download size of your applications -Alex

Each is relatively form-based with 4-5 forms. They each compile to SWFs around 350-370KB. I was curious so I cut the code from one and pasted it into a copy of the other, effectively combining the two into one SWF when I compiled them. It grew by 12kb. There aren't any graphics embedded. Just a few classes, webservices, and some script. That other 340KB, is it framework? Could it be built into the flash player and shrink our SWFs a lot?
