    *QUICK NOTE: I posed this on the Flash forum as well, but I am hopeful some of you in the AE forum have run into this before as well. Thanks!

    I have a question that I am sure someone here has the answer to. I have an animation I created in AE CS3 and exported a lossless QT file. I then imported it into Flash Pro as an embedded video. I have the loader in place and it seems to all be working properly. My question is how can I get a better quality SWF exported? The quality of my SWF movie just isn’t what I hoped. The text seems a bit blurry, etc. I am curious if there is a recipe for better encoding quality. I am not too worried about file size since I have a decent loader in place and the viewer can see it’s “on it’s way”. The animation is only about 6 seconds long as well, so it couldn’t be too large. I even bumped the quality on import up to 1100k to see if that helped and it did not. I appreciate any help!!!

    If you are applying any filters or effects in AE that cause the frame to be rasterized, you’re stuck with the pixels, there’s no way to recover the vector crispness. You have to figure out which effects you want to do in AE and what you want to keep in Flash as native vectors. It’s a really difficult design and workflow concept but I can’t really tell if this is what’s happening on your end.
