Sometimes it's good to be multi-disciplinary. I just finished cutting the size of an animated loader for AG from about 196k to 32k by replacing snow animated in the editor with snow animated by a simple particle system. It took longer to build this than it did to originally animate the stuff - but now I have a little bit of code I can keep somewhere and pull out if I ever need snow, or smoke, or something similar, again.

The fact that Flash was being cooperative by not crashing and dropping keypresses all the time helped, of course.

The elation that comes from cutting precious kilobytes off a file is a rarefied taste.
