Is there a way to remove comments or strip comments out of the AS3 code during compiler preprocessing? I have noticed that the SWF size is larger if comments are left in. It is not a huge amount of added size, but it can add up to 10-20 KB for a large project.
I am working on an AS3 project (not mxml) and I am trying to get the final size down to less then 40KB. I am looking for a way to remove comments to make the SWF smaller. I would also like to run a tool that will shorten all the class, property, and method names. I could go in and manually optimize the code, but it makes development much harder when you have no comments and you methods are named gvp() gvpl() instead of getVideoPlayer() and getVideoPlaylist(). I would much rather find a precompile process of some kind. Any ideas? Thanks --jason key words: remove comments on compile strip comments optimize SWF size reduce size file size
