converting for flash
I don’t think I saw a post about this so I’ll go ahead and ask… is there a way to export and convert your project so that it’s compatible with flash only using FCP? Or is there a program (preferably free) that can convert a .mov to a .flv?

Yes. FCP comes with a license for QuickTime Pro, which has the ability to export FLVs …
[1] select your FCP sequence
[2] go to Export Using QuickTime Conversion from the FCP File menu
[3] in the Format dropdown, change the slecetion to “Flash Video (FLV)”
[4] click “Options” at the bottom of the Save window & set to your likingFYI …
On2 Technologies Flix Pro is, in my opinion, by far the best software available for encoding good-quality FLVs with adequate control over all aspects of the encoding. It isn’t free (or even cheap), but you generally get what you pay for with software as with most things in life. -

Dave,
You must have Adobe Flash installed on your Mac, because there is no FLV option in QT Conversion as it comes out of the box.

Yes, David, thank you for the correction and sorry for the misinformation … I apparently have a hard time remembering which features of various software are standard since it has been a long time since I’ve worked on any system that doesn’t have both the Adobe Suite and QuickTime Pro installed.
