Is it possible to optimize a patch layer?

When exporting to .swf, I noticed that I lost my patch layers and I later discovered that this is because they are not optimized. I tried lowering the frame rate on the project, but this had no affect. Does anyone know if it's possible to optimize a patch layer so that I may export it to a .swf file along with everything else?

I tried exporting to a .bmp file and then used Adobe Flash to put those images into a series. It works well, except that I want only the animation to use in a web application and not the entire stage that comes with the image series.

As I stated before, I found that I could make use of all AS features within a .swf file by exporting all frames to a series of images, then importing those images to Flash, and then exporting it to a .swf movie. However, the bitmap images brought the background as well as the animation, or in other words the background was not transparent. I contacted AS support and they suggested exporting the images as .png. This did the trick and I am back in business.
