Patrick, I know of no way to export swf directly to FLV. Flash CS3 has introduced a new option on export to Quicktime. Once an MOV has been rendered, you can use the Flash Video Encoder (or encoder of your choice) to transcode into FLV.
Animators who use Flash for broadcast have long established workflows for exporting to Quicktime. What the new CS3 feature adds is support for animations in nested movie clips and ActionScript animation. I believe neither of these were previously possible. (Anyone please correct me if I am incorrect on this :-) The description of the new options are: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/flash/upgrade/ Advanced QuickTime export Render content published in a SWF file as a QuickTime video using the advanced QuickTime exporter. Export content that includes nested MovieClips, content generated with ActionScript language, and runtime effects such as drop shadow and blur. The livedocs page on "Exporting QuickTime" is here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/UsingFlash/WS6A15AAE2-C176-4161-BAB6-FB082F63B65B.html The livedocs page includes a link to the following demo video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0142 In Flash CS3 you access this functionality from the main menu via: File > Export > Export Movie. A key new feature is the option "Stop exporting" using "After time elapsed". A happy user's review is here: Flash CS3's "Export to Movie: Quicktime", I Love You! http://visualrinse.com/2007/05/10/flash-cs3s-export-to-movie-quicktime-i-love-you/ Please post back regarding whether or not this helps. hth, g On 6/6/07, Patrick Lemiuex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sorry, this may be a pretty obvious question - how do I export a flash swf to an FLV? Thanks, Patrick _______________________________________________
