 Publishing Flash Movie
Finally, after you've made all appropriate changes to the Flash animated header of your web design template, you should publish and update it.
Maybe you'll want to modify publish settings to reduce download time or increase image quality. To do that choose File > Publish Settings... from top menu. In Publish Settings window choose Flash tab. Main options that have significant influence on published SWF movie file size are Jpeg Quality, Audio Stream and Audio Event.
Publish Settings
To change JPEG image compression ratio, move JPEG Quality slider or type it in the input box at the right of it. Low quality (high compression) extremely reduces download time and the same time Flash looses its professional look. Try to experiment with quality to get optimal size/quality balance.
Another way to affect movie size is to change Audio Stream and Event options. Press Set button at the right to change music quality options.
Actually you can publish your movie directly from Publish Settings window, see Publish button at the bottom. Or you can publish it from every point of Macromedia Flash by pressing "Shift+F12" hotkey.
Published SWF file will appear in the folder where corresponding FLA file is located.
