Flash export from AE

[Seth Taylor]

you can render a png sequence to import into Flash

Thanx Seth, but after import in Flash will I be able to export a file with an alpha channel? Because that’s what I need. I’ve tried animated gifs but they don’t come out smooth. The idea is to import this animation over a full screen texture in Freeway.

I agree that the animated gif export from ae is crap. I had to find a workaround for site design stuff. If you output a jpg sequence to its own folder you should be able to import that into flash – or alternately (to save the time it will take flash import the sequence and later to export a larger file) you can make an animated gif out of the jpg sequence in imageready and you can then open a high quality animated gif directly in flash. I’m not sure on the alpha channel issue though. Hope this helps.

Thanx Brant. I’ve messed around with ImageReady but my knowledge of this app is limited. I couldn’t even scale it down in filesize. So I stick to what I (more or less) know and take you idea of jpeg seq. into Fireworks. Time is closing in. Lucky for me it’s a charity job 😉
