Optimize curves
Optimizing smooths curves by refining curved lines and filling outlines, reducing the number of curves used to define these elements. Optimizing curves also reduces the size of the Flash document (FLA file) and the exported Flash application (SWF file). Apply optimization to the same elements multiple times.
- Select the drawn elements to optimize and select Modify > Shape > Optimize.
- To specify the degree of smoothing, drag the Smoothing slider. The results depend on the curves selected. Generally, optimizing produces fewer curves, with less resemblance to the original outline.

Set additional options:
Use Multiple Passes Repeats the smoothing process until no further optimization can be accomplished; this is the same as repeatedly selecting Optimize with the same elements selected.
Show Totals Message Indicates the extent of the optimization when smoothing is complete.
- Click OK.
