compression difference in a AS3 SWF

Question

I received a banner in AS3 with all the class and the SWC, the banner size is 60ko. When I Open the fla and just republish it without modify anything, the size increase to 105ko

Is there a method to compress better a swf? How could have done the previous developer to reach this size?

Do you have any idea, or did you have this problem already?

cheers

as @Laurent mentioned, it's probably because you're exporting all the debug symbols etc.

An ide like flashdevelop has different compile modes, debug and release, that can remove this stuff automatically for you, but you can also run your swf through the optimizer tool that's in the bin folder of the flex sdk
