For the most part, images imported as JPEG or GIF will retain their
compression when you save as Shockwave or create a projector with Shockwave
compression - IF you haven't edited the member in Director's paint window.
D8 offers some compression options during the publish process, too. Check
the manuals for "Compressing bitmaps"
"JPEG and GIF Compression Support in Director 7"

I'm sure there are other technotes related to this issue. Try some searches
