Hey.

take a good look at your publish settings.
take a look at your file sizes that you are importing.

if you are importing files that should be compressing with the internal
compressor (jpeg/mp3/sorenson etc etc)
and they are not, then you may want to reinstall flash.

But first run a double check on your publish output settings.
