[SOLVED] Why is StrobeMediaPlayer.swf 253k in the "for Flash Player X" folder but 433k when compiled or in player/bin folder?

Why is StrobeMediaPlayer.swf 253k in the "for Flash Player X" folder but 433k when compiled or in player/bin folder?

I have been trying to compile StrobeMediaPlayback from source; I've managed to compile the project using ANT with the Flex 4.5.1 or Flex 6 SDK and also successfully compiled using Flash Builder 4.5 (as recommended by the project).

In all cases, compiling the SMP project results in a 433k StrobeMediaPlayback.swf. Also, StrobeMediaPlayback.swf located in src/player/StrobeMediaPlayback/bin/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf ships as 433k. My question then, is how on earth do I compile StrobeMediaPlayback.swf to 253k as it exists in the for Flash Player 10.1 folder? It appears there is an external OSMF.swc file in this folder that is 233k - typically this gets bundled with the build... however, I can drop the 253k StrobeMediaPlayback.swf into a new project without the OSMF.swc file and it works fine.

So, if it turns out that I need to compile StrobeMediaPlayback without bundling the OSMF.swc, can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

Try,

in your StrobeMediaPlayback project, mark the osmf.swc as an external library. (Project > Properties > Application Build Path > Library Path > OSMF > Link Type)
