Re: Flash buttons

when you say you re-sized it.. did you resize it in the image editor or in the html editor?
the file itself was physically 1500 pixels wide.. but in your browser the html code specifies that the displayed image is 400 pixels wide.

Using the html code to specify the image size doesn't actually change the file itself, the change is only cosmetic. That is why the page takes a long time to load.. because the client browser is downloading a 1500pixel image then saying.. ok i'll disply this image at 400 pixels.

That is also the reason that my optimised image looks clearer, because it isn't being dynamically resized, which pixelates (distorts) the image.

Just out of interest, do you really need to use flash? Surely you can achieve the desired effect with rollover images?
