123 Flash Compressor 1.20 is a tool used to optimize flash files (.SWF) by compressing their size, sometimes only 30% of the original size. If you are a website administrator, you can use this program to speed up the loading of websites with flash objects, avoid bandwidth bottlenecks and save storage space of servers.

This program is compatible with all kinds of flash files created by both Flash 3, 4, 5 and Flash MX. Because of using advanced compression technology, 123 Flash Compressor has a great advantage of retaining image quality in flash movies. In addition, the program has a very high processing speed and the interface is designed quite simple and friendly, helping users not take much time to get used to and exploit.
