does anyone know what file size one should aim for when creating a rotating flash ad (like those at buy.com or www.bestbuy.com).

Using swish max, my flash movie ad ended up being 700K-- Something tells me i'm doing something wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well thats fine. I mean it's ok if the size is 10mb, it's all about how it's presented, and how it's preloaded. If it's 700k, preload it and load things sensibly rather than making the user wait and them missing it! Also, keep it short and sweet! There's no point in having it long cos the user won't notice.

And always remember: NEVER MAKE THE USER THINK!
