Very interesting.... I live in the northwest so I miss those (':')

Educational presentation.

I took the liberty of taking your swf and cutting it down from 81.2 kb to 71 bytes. Also got the actual width and height of the swf (475x300), and put it on an html page to display it in its actual size.

If you want to know how to do that, I can send you the info with some notes.

Good work. Apparently you can byte off the exact amount you can chew.

Actually the parts that go off the swf page will show on a PC when things are moving off the main swf content, when the main content is smaller than the web page. The html page is what cuts off the overlap, when it puts the swf into a frame that displays only what is between the actual size of the swf. In JavaScript you can move things off the page and they are no longer visible when they go off the end of the viewing space. Swf is the same idea except that it shows when it is displayed in the raw form, with no placeholder.

As far as the bytes go, I have a script that will convert it to a smaller size that displays easier in a browser. The script was written by Jerry (Webwizard Jerry). I also have another script that will read a raw swf and tell you the actual width and height of it.

I have a collection of tutorials written by Jerry which he passed on when he closed his site. If you are interested in looking at those, here they are.
