Hi, readers & friends!
Information below will be useful for the Adobe Flash Professional users.
To achieve a satisfying balance between file size and quality of images in your Flash Pro project, you should tune the compression settings for every image you have in your project. As you could know, compression setting could be tuned via the “Bitmap Properties” dialog available from the library image context menu.

Completely compatible with Flash Pro CS5.5 and not completely with earlier versions.
