Finding unused library itemsTo reduce the size of a Flash FLA file, you can locate unused library items and delete them. However, it is not necessary to delete unused library items to reduce a Flash movie's SWF file size, because unused library items are not included in the SWF file.
To find unused library items, do one of the following:
![]() |
Choose Select Unused Items from the Library Options menu. |
![]() |
Sort library items by the Use Count column. See Sorting items in the Library window. |
