hi richard, as far as i know, when you import a jpg to a director cast, director stores both the jpeg data as well as the the image in uncompressed form. your jpgs are propably strongly compressed, that's why the file size difference is that big. but when you publish the the cast (shockwave, projector), the uncompressed image data is removed again and the filesize gets smaller (depending on your compression settings).
