Tips for creating Flash files
Flash is not ideal for 3D graphics such as those created in Xara 3D Maker. You will often find that you
can create smaller files using other formats such as GIF. This is especially true for animations. If you want
to create Flash animations, we suggest:

Step or Fade animations produce smaller files than other styles.

Avoid bevels. Some bevels are better than others but typically bevels make files five to ten times
larger.

Use sans serif fonts such as Arial (serif fonts have small features at the end of strokes within
letters).
