I did figure that out. I was wondering why not use JPEG for the BG image though. A 1920x1280 image will save a lot in file size.

1. For Flash Games, my game size is around 6MB with only one level, level map and achievements. I played around a bit and it seems that my Background JPEGS which were 300kb were converted to 2.5 MB PNG files. Is there any way for it use JPEGS for the same? Or is there some other issue with that i am not aware about.
Also i am not sure if i import my game graphics at 4x and export at 2x which set of graphics it was using.
2. I have published my games in the past to Google Market, Nook, Amazon app stores. They will all take a .apk with no special requirements. However games need these features for Nook n Amazon:
a. When a user clicks the back button on the mobile. It must ask them if they wish to exit and then close the app.
b. Not require un-necessary permessions. Like when installing the app it says the app needs internet access. However if the game does not use the internet, it should not ask for that permission.
Other than that everything seems perfect so far. Hope to finish my first game early next week. Only thing left is testing persistent data saving for level map, leaderboard and achievements.

Any chance this can get added to the engine?
If not, could some one guide me as to how i can implement it using extensions or something?
Thanks.

Think i found the bug by unzippin the HTML5 folder:
My original game was built 1x at 1920x1280
Then there is another set of assets at 2x for 3840x2560
Those should have been scaled down i assume?

« on: October 07, 2012, 06:24:13 am »I'm not really seeing what you're seeing. I have a game with most of the art assets in place (no sounds, yet), and the SWF is only 2.2mb total. In contrast, the .stencyl project file is 2.6mb.
What resolution is your game in? I think the big resolution is causing the large file size for me. Thx.

Any chance the file size issue will be fixed? I cannot have one level games at 12MB+ for flash. Else i will just build my games in a smaller resolution.
Thx.

Your work around works perfectly though. I split a 1920x1280 image into 4 parts and it works. I tested on 3 android devices with resolutions of 480x320 and 800x480
However file size is a killer.
I tried with both JPEG and PNG for 1920x1280 game px (not image) build size is 12MB+
For 800x600 (both image and game px) build size is 2MB
So i am thinking it is because when i am creating the game at that resolution and not the image itself that is causing the bigger build sizes.
Any recommendations?

The BG is a JPEG 1920x1280px = 2MB
The actor is a PNG 96x503px = 65KB

2MB Image (1 BG and 1 Actor) creates 12MB SWF and 14MB APK - Barely 2 building blocks and no physics.
APK can be gotten away with. However the SWF should ideally be around 5MB. Not sure what the extra file size is for. Could it be different resolution images?
Another thing of note, when we created games in Adobe Flash Pro - resizing the browser auto resized the game. This does not happen in Stencyl SWF Files.
