Shädbase - They that sow in semen shall reap in joy.
why is this file so large?
[IMG] Shadbase.swf (5.16 MiB)
1000x720, Compressed. 528 frames, 30 fps (00:18).
Ver9, AS1/AS2. Network access: No. Text: No.
Bitmaps: Yes. Audio: Yes. Video: No.

There's a background image that is a 1654*1169 PNG image at 1.47 MiB.
The audio stream is only ~17 sec mono 64kbps 44kHz at 137 KiB.
There seem to also be a svg version of the exact same background image at 1.97 MiB.
So it's large due to the background. For some reason the maker included it twice in the flash file
(both as a PNG image and as vector graphics).
The maker could have saved the background as a JPG image instead. At 93% quality (super high,
lossless to the human eye) it would have only taken 300 KiB.
The swf file could easily have been less than 2 MiB in size but the maker (Shadbase) doesn't seem
to be that good in knowing how to optimize the resources in his flashes.
(I'm not 100% sure that the svg version of the background is actually vectors but it does seem like
the background image appears twice regardless.)

well, optimizing disk space resources is not a thing today anymore.
The bigger the better as long as there's any benefit at all.

It's more about keeping the file size down to save bandwidth. It's downloaded by thousands of
people after all and those extra MiB add up. Just unnecessary.

Yeah, he really should try to draw more frames. He got the drawing down and the animation is
alright but when they teleport between positions like this it's pretty distracting.
