Is there any ways to compress and lessen the effects/quality of my flash file.

I've already deleted some of tweens that could lessen the quality and effects of my file, but it still can't run smoothly on mobile devices such in android and mac phones/tablets.

Thanks in advance.

How are you running the SWF on Android and iOS?

I'm converting first the SWF file into swiffyanimation using Google Swiffy Coverter, then i will play it through the browser.

\Swiffy's HTML output was automatically generated from a binary Flash source.  The efficiency  of the HTML output is going to completely depend on Swiffy's conversion.

I don't know anything about the Swiffy internals, so I can't really give you guidance on what to avoid/leverage to make things work better.

Current versions of Animate CC (the product formerly known as Flash Professional CC) are designed to output your animation directly to multiple output targets, including HTML (which prompted the name change).

I don't work on the animation tool either, but my (educated) guess is that generating the HTML directly from the animation tool is going to afford the opportunity to generate much more efficient output than trying to go from .fla -> .swf. -> html canvas.

If you don't already have a copy of Flash Professional CC, you should be able to grab a free month trial and experiment with the output options there to see if you get something that performs more acceptably.
