This does work just fine with CS4, scripted animation and all. A couple of tips: - Export the movie at 100% size. I've found the exporter does a lousy job of scaling. If you need to scale the output, use minimal QT compression, then use a tool like MPEG Streamclip or ffmpeg to scale and

Ok, I'm well aware of the limitation in exporting an .fla to quicktime. You only get the main timeline, no sub clips or scripted animation. What I'm asking is if there's some new product on the market that has tackled this issue successfully. So far is looks like a screen reader is the way to go,

If you want to make a video of a swf, export as an animation first (it is one of the options when exporting) and then bring that into final cut or similar and then export it as a QuickTime using your choice of codec. You should be able to retain all of the elements from your swf that way.
