It is not a given this will always create smaller files.

 I'm doing the same with my flash/flex movies, but based on the file
 sizes it looks like when the .swf is compiled the PNGs are already
 being compressed.

PNG is a compressed format.

PNG is a compressed format.

Which flavor of PNG?  Some PNGs are, but try an unflattened Fireworks
PNG, it's huge and does not compress that I am aware of.  Even so,
Fireworks PNGs are much larger than regular flat PNG files or JPGs.
