FlexiDev today announced the release of Asset Mover, a Flash development tool that both optimizes preload indicators and improves file size within Macromedia Flash 5 and Flash MX movies. Asset Mover allows Flash developers to move a Flash movie’s linked assets to a frame of their choice. This feature is not provided in Macromedia Flash 5, and has limited control in Flash MX. Linked assets are automatically located in the first frame. By reassigning linked assets to a later frame in the movie, developers may gain more control over the apparent speed with which their Flash files download. Asset Mover also identifies and removes redundant linked assets to reduce file size. Asset Mover retails for US$24.95 and is available at the company website. A free demo version is also available.
