I have to produce a animation for a certain project, and have chosen Flash because I know it well and it provides all the techniques etc I need... Yadda... Yadda... Yadda...
However, this animation is very graphic intensive, and contains a load of detail/filters/complex vector drawings which draw VERY slowly when the SWF is run (for obvious reasons). So, I need some way of pre-rendering the SWF as an AVI/MPEG/MOV/Whatever (The final movie doesn't have to be vector or SWF, it can be a movie, it just has to run smooth). So naturally, I thought "I will export as an AVI instead of SWF". All goes well and the animation runs smoothly. HOWEVER, when the movie is played, it only plays the _root timeline and won't play any animations inside MC's on the stage. (e.g. I have a repeating leg walk animation stored in 'legmovement' mc on the stage, but it won't play). I know why this is, I just don't know how to solve it.. And finally we get to my actual question... Can you pre-render an SWF to play EXACTLY like an SWF (With all mc's playing)? Are there any programs out there that do it? (I have tried a few and they still only play the _root timeline).

Thanks if anyone has any suggestions... :ch:
I've been trying to figure out the same deal - how to get a heavily scripted movie saved to a .avi or .mov format. Do you know if the most recent version of Director can compile the latest flash 8 filters and other flash 8 goodies? O'Reilly - Safari Books Online - 0672323710 - Sams Teach Yourself ::

Thanks very much for the reply.. I will try the trial of Director right away!
You might try Macromedia Director if you've got it available, or you could always download a 30 day demo of it. I ran a quick test but it looks like you can save the animation out to an AVI file, including any actionscript/movieclips. The movie I tested was all generated completely in code and exported just fine. Safari Books Online - 0672323710 - Sams Teach Yourself Macromedia ::

Sounds good, if you need any help setting up Flash in Director let me know. I'm no Director guru, but I've used it a bit.
