Flash Optimizer for Mac OS - Current optimization settings

"Current optimization set" tab displays all groups of settings currently enabled/disabled for each particular tab (i.e. Advanced settings, Truncate shapes, Truncate fonts, Objects, Pictures).

    You may enable or disable group of settings in "Current optimization set" and adjust settings in corresponding tab.

  • Basic:

    • Zlib compression

      • Activate "Zlib Compression" set in "Advanced settings" tab (see "Advanced settings" tab description for more information)

    • Truncate shapes

      • Activate "Truncate shapes" set in "Advanced settings" tab (see "Advanced settings" tab description for more information)

    • Truncate fonts

      • Activate "Truncate fonts" set in "Advanced settings" tab (see "Advanced settings" tab description for more information)

  • Transform:

    • Shapes

      • Activate "Optimize shapes" parameter in "Truncate shapes" tab (see "Truncate shapes" tab description for more information)

    • Morphs

      • Activate "Shapes morphing optimization" parameter in "Objects" tab (see "Objects" tab description for more information)

    • Fonts

      • Activate "Fonts shapes optimization" parameter in "Objects" tab (see "Objects" tab description for more information)

    • Scales

      • Activate "Scales optimization" parameter in "Advanced settings" tab (see "Advanced settings" tab description for more information). Please, note, that to make sure that ActionScripts work correctly after optimization, we advise you to disable Scales optimization.

  • Throw Away:

    • Zero objects

      • Activate "Zero objects" set in "Advanced settings" tab (see "Advanced settings" tab description for more information)

    • Invisible Shapes

      • One shape may contain several logical figures that may overlap one another. If the top figure is filled with an opaque background, then hidden part of lower figure can be freely removed. It will not affect resulting image, however overall size of the file will be reduced. This algorithm is called Z-Buffer Optimization.

      For instance SWF file has two layers: layer 1 has blue square and layer 2 has red circle. Layer 1 is located above layer 2 and therefore part of circle stays invisible.

      After applying Invisible Shapes optimization invisible part of circle will be removed, reducing optimized SWF file size.


      Note: part of invisible shape may still be present in optimized file. This is due to the fact that shapes are represented as a sequence of curves and lines and Invisible Shapes optimization removes all curves and lines that are invisible completely.

  • Other:

    • Pictures

      • Activate "Pictures optimization" set in "Pictures" tab (see "Picture" tab description for more information)

    • Sounds

      • Activate "Sounds optimization" parameters set in "Sounds" tab (see "Sounds" tab description for more information)

    • Video

      • Activate "Video optimization" parameters set in "Video" tab (see "Video" tab description for more information)
