AE to Flash
Hey guys,
I know you can make flash videos in AE, but I’m looking to design a website and export it to flash…is there any way to set up the button behaviors in AE or set up the animations in AE and then make the buttons work in flash? Any ideas on this? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it… -

No. They are simply 2 comletely different tools and trying to intermingle things is going to cause you more trouble than it’s going to help.

I disagree. While there is no integration, (the two haven’t ever even met) you can make due with AE renders converted to FLVs (alpha support!) and image sequences.
Example:
Create a 10 frame movie of a static button, hover state and action state and export it as a PNG sequence. Import those frames into a movie symbol [with stop()s between states]. Put that Movie into your Button symbol and set the start frames as needed.
Because you used PNG, you have a full alpha channel. But you’ll also have a large file size. Don’t render more area than you’ll need for your symbol or button.

The only problem is that the flash file is a bitmap file and not vector based, and will be a big file. You can’t scale it either as scaling bitmapped flvs look like crap…
