PNG files on the web? Did you specifically export it as 8 bit? If not, it's a bad idea.... -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Team Macromedia Volunteer for Dreamweaver MX (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== news://forums.macromedia.com/macromedia.dreamweaver - THE BEST WAY TO GET ANSWERS ================== http://www.dreamweavermx-templates.com - Template Triage! http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.DreamweaverFAQ.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ - Macromedia (MM) Technotes ================== "Austen Osborne" <austen (AT) austenosborne (DOT) com> wrote in message news:bedq38$7m6$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com... You might try to bring the size of the page & its contents down - I saved your page locally to my hard drive and it totals 140KB, and that's without the flash or the rollover buttons. I'm guessing conservatively that it's around 200KB total, which is about 3 or 4 times the standard target for page size. People on a 56K dialup will probably close the window or hit the back button. I noticed it even on a dsl line with no other traffic on. By way of example, sectionsep.png in 27KB (I know it's a gradient and as such will be tricky to maximise for the web), and the same goes for the footer image. Sorry for the lack of suggestions! Oz.

Murray, could you do me a favor and tell me the size of the following page www.eonline.com? They have a flash file the approximate size of mine and I am curious how large it is and how large their page is. Thanks "Murray *TMM*" <forums (AT) HAHAgreat-web-sights (DOT) com> wrote in message news:beeii7$okf$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com... Brad: I'm guess that "get rid of it" is not what you were looking for, so nope. I'm not a Flash person.

I downloaded it but I do not see where you see the size of the Flash files. "Murray *TMM*" <forums (AT) HAHAgreat-web-sights (DOT) com> wrote in message news:beejdu$qhc$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com... Brad: You can do it yourself if you download and install the IEBooster thing at the URL which I included in my previous post. Anyhow - Size of all images: 89.707 kB Size of HTML-source: 58.158 kB Size of whole page: 147.865 kB and the SWF file is 48K (that's right - 48K). The difference could be that the images are not moving as yours are. -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Team Macromedia Volunteer for Dreamweaver MX (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== news://forums.macromedia.com/macromedia.dreamweaver - THE BEST WAY TO GET ANSWERS ================== http://www.dreamweavermx-templates.com - Template Triage! http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.DreamweaverFAQ.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ - Macromedia (MM) Technotes ================== "Brad" <bradbrevet (AT) ropeofsilicon (DOT) com> wrote in message news:beej07$pgl$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com...
