The FLA File is your library file, the only way to reduce the fla file size is to delete assets inside your project you don't need at all and reduce embedding assets.
I ran into the same problem. The assets I was importing were a fraction of the size of the FLA.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
