Hi, i have a movie i've created which is around 350kb i think. Now i need to get it down to < 40kb. I've read that this is possible through loading images on runtime (or something) through actionscript, and i really dont have a clue how to do this so can anyone explain it to me?

Loading external images in its most basic form is pretty simple:
Flash 8/9 supports external JPG, PNG, single-frame GIF and SWF files this way. Flash 5 to 7 only support JPG and SWF.
But you can use preloaders and stuff to make the experience generally more pleasant for the user. There are numerous ways to do this, so I'll not suggest any here (see the post above mine or google).
Code:
someMovieClip.loadMovie ("imagename.ext");Flash 8/9 supports external JPG, PNG, single-frame GIF and SWF files this way. Flash 5 to 7 only support JPG and SWF.
