[Flashcoders] SWF size reduction

2011-09-17 Thread Gerry Beauregard
I'm currently working on a project for which the customer requires the SWF to be very small, so I've been investigating how to reduce SWF sizes. Flash Builder's compiler is smart enough to not include code for unreferenced classes, but it seems to miss some other seemingly obvious opportunities
