I am trying to publish a swf and get it below 1mb but no matter what I do I cant reduce the size below 3.5mb, changing the publish settings seems to have no effect at all on file size?
Here is a screenshot of my settings

And here is a link to my source fla

get an xml based gallery, well doesn’t really need to be xml, just download images one at a time and put in separate preloaders
For a start your images are too high resolution - resize them to the size they need to be on stage before importing them into flash. You also have ‘use imported JPEG data’ ticked for each photo so the publish setting has no effect, if you tick custom instead and use 80 quality for each the swf is now about 450k
