When you are making a Flash game, do you worry about the final size of your swf?
I had a look at 17.666 games with known filesize actually stored in Triqui.com, parsed from MochiMedia, and that’s what I found
Average swf file size: 0.99MB
| swf file size | # of games | % |
| <100KB | 2512 | 14.22 |
| 100 – 250KB | 3311 | 18.74 |
| 250 – 500KB | 3477 | 19.68 |
| 500KB – 1Mb | 3271 | 18.52 |
| 1MB – 5MB | 4596 | 26.02 |
| >5MB | 499 | 2.82 |
Finally, this is a chart representing the number of games (horizontal) for at any size (vertical) with a 250KB step
