Description: Flash Optimizer for Mac is a powerful, feature-rich SWF compression utility. It easily reduces SWF files size up to 80 percent thanks to amazing algorithms of vectors, shapes, morphing, Z-buffer, fonts, and other optimizations, thus saving considerable amount of traffic and loading time. Unlike any other similar software it manages to optimize not only a separate part of your Flash movie, but the whole SWF, including curves, zero-objects, ZLib optimization and a whole lot more advanced techniques. More than 50 separate compression options, both predefined and customizable, give you full control over the optimization process, meeting an optimum compression at no quality loss. Optimization process preview feature will help you choose proper compression settings for a particular movie. Also handy is SWF info button which shows you details on Flash movies - like size in bytes, percentage of each kind of resources (shapes, pictures, videos, actions etc.) and general size of original and optimized files.
