I have pretty good experience exporting to QuickTime right from Flash - though others swear it's problematic (maybe they are doing it wrong?).

If you want to keep the vector animation, and if fullscreen is your main problem, you can use a fullScreenRect to force the renderer to a smaller draw area. You wouldn't get the full native resolution of the user's monitor, but this is the same restraint as using an flv file. 720p (1280x720) would look good - if it's really complex, you could go even smaller.

There are other optimizations your animators could use during production, including cacheAsBitmap, or pre-rendering certain complex vector art.

It sounds like it's time to encode the flash animation to video.


For some of the cases, yeah. You are right in that encoding to video would solve the issue for local playback. Give me a shout when you find a tool that actually can do it properly.

But it is not acceptable for online distribution. I myself hate people uploading video encodings of their vector animations. It's needlessly big files and the quality just isn't as good as the source material.
