Reducing your Flash Player file sizes is no longer so important because many people now have high-speed Internet connections. But not everyone does. So it still isn’t a bad idea to spend a little time thinking about shrinking the size
of your Flash movies.

Simplifying artwork

By simplifying the artwork in your movie, you can greatly reduce the size of a Flash movie, thereby increasing its speed. Here are the most important techniques:

I found on the Internet a Free Flash Gallery! Here is the official website and here is the example.

How to configurate:

To add some great sound to your Flash movie, you must first import the sound. You can import AIFF, WAV, and MP3 sounds. Flash places these sounds in your Library.

Sounds vary in sample rate, bit rate, and channels. These statistics are important because they affect the quality and size of the sound file. Of course, the length of the sound also affects its size. Here’s what you need to know:

• Sample rate: The number of times the recorder samples an audio signal when it’s recorded in digital form. Measured in kilohertz (kHz). Try not to use more than 22 kHz unless you want CD-quality music.
• Bit rate: The number of bits used for each audio sample. Sometimes called bit resolution. A 16-bit sound file is clearer with less background noise, but use 8-bit sound if you need to reduce file size.
• Channels: Typically one channel of sound (monophonic) or two channels (stereophonic). In most cases, mono is fine for Flash files and uses half the amount of data that stereo uses.

Often, you need to take a sound as you find it unless you have software that can manipulate sounds. Luckily, you can set the specs of sounds when you publish your movie to an .swf file. You generally get the best results by
starting with high-quality sounds and compressing during publishing ( Information from Flash CS3 for Dummies ebook)

Today we learn how to Create Motion Tween Animation in Flash CS3. Here is the final
result!

The Animation Tween

If your animation follows some simple guidelines, you can save yourself lots of work (and reduce your file size, too) by using Flash to calculate the in-between frames for you automatically. You create just the first and last keyframes, and Flash figures out what should go in between. In animation technobabble, that’s called tweening — a quick, fun way to create great animations.

You can do a lot with Flash’s tweening capabilities, including:

• Motion tweening: This is definitely the most common type of tweening. With simple motion tweening, you can move your objects in a straight line from here to there. You can use motion tweening also to animate an object along any path that you create, even one with lots of curves.
• Shape tweening: This type of tweening gradually changes any shape to another shape. You create the first and last shapes. These days, kids call it morphing. The results may be quite unpredictable and require a lot of computer processing but are usually interesting. You can add shape hints to try to tell Flash exactly how you want your shape to morph.

And with both motion tweening and shape tweening, you can:

• Change an object’s size: For example, if you make an object smaller as you move it, the object often appears to be moving away from the viewer.
• Rotate an object: You specify the amount of the rotation. Flash combines the motion or shape tweening with the rotation so that you get both effects at one time.
• Change color or transparency or both: Flash creates a gradual change in color based on your starting and ending colors.

Who Framed the Animation?

The secret of animation in Flash, as in the movies, is that nothing ever really moves. A Flash movie creates the illusion of movement by quickly displaying a sequence of still images. Each still image is slightly different. Your brain fills in the gaps to give you the impression of movement.

One of the great things about Flash is that you can easily create complicated, spectacular extravaganzas of animation. And Flash stores lots of information in the super-compact vector format. Because the files can be small, they can be transmitted over the Web quickly. That’s good for your Web site viewers.

[1] Before starting you have to draw the website on the paper
[2] Create things that you need and can not made in Flash ( images, sounds, etc)

Note: [1] Ask the client ”Why is so important to create the website?”
[2] You’re asking, his asking, tell him the good parts of your websites ( fast loading, good rendering, etc)

Many designer’s have questions for their clients like as:

What type of business or organization are you trying to promote?
Do you have a Web hosting service?
