This webpage I created takes too long to download. It has a flash swf file in which I added an 8.7 mb size mp3 file to it. I think this is what is causing the webpage to download so slowly. Does anyone know if there is a program out there that can reduce the file size to 2 to 3 mb. Or if you feel there is another problem please let me know. thx

@eman: How long is "too long"? It loads in about 5 seconds for me.

You should stream an MP3 file rather than having it all in the swf:
