You're exporting a release build, not a debug build, right?

You can download SWFWire Inspector to examine what's in your file, and why it's so big. Like J_A_X said, it's probably mostly embedded assets, which you can try to load separately.

Quick answer is that there's no quick solution. There are several things you can do like caching RSLs (using the Adobe signed one), creating your own RSLs, dividing your application into modules, remove all embedded media and make it load on demand, use vectors (FXG) instead of bitmap files (png, jpg, etc) and make sure you don't add things that aren't needed.

All of these can make an application load faster and be much more responsive. The problem is that it's not a quick solution and needs quite a bit of architecting. Normally, you start this from the beginning of your project. From the sounds of it, you didn't know most of these concepts and you've added everything to one massive swf file (including RSLs).

You've got a long road ahead of you.

Do you have any query made to server? In that case it's better to check the server capabilities.
