Could you explain why a Flash Builder source folder – no larger than 2 MB – compiles into a SWF exceeding 15 MB with debugging turned off (exported release build)?
There is only 1 embedded image at about 93k – no other images. The application is not that complicated, basically calls are made to a MySQL db to display information, as well as store information. I have used drop shadows and borders, but all standard to Flash Builder. Some custom classes and one custom skin.
Thank you…
Here is listing of the files:
.DS_Store
mx_4.5.1.21328.swz
Main.html
playerProductInstall.swf
Main.swf > 15 MB
rpc_4.5.1.21328.swz
amf_config.ini
services

skins
charts_4.5.1.21328.swz
spark_4.5.1.21328.swz

sparkskins_4.5.1.21328.swz
gateway.php
swfobject.js
history
textLayout_2.0.0.232.swz
Well, well…thought I’d revisit this since I found the problem – a font in a css file with embed set to ‘true’. This font wasn’t even being used, so I removed it and the css file completely (not in use either). They probably got inserted way early in the project. Code now hovering around 1 MB and less than that for the export build. Hope this helps someone. Cheers!
