Supported features for SWF export
Posted by Adrian Germain on December 4, 2005 at 2:19 amIf i have expressions, time remaping,null with slider effect,nested compositions, still can I export vectorial the composition to swf?

No, definitely not. It will all become one big bitmap based SWF file. Vector output only works properly if the elements are placed in the main comp. Even so, since you are using all the fancies, it wouldn’t necessarily have worked, either. You could of course wait a while until AE 7 comes out and then export to FLV…. ;-).
If you don’t mind my observation: What you are describing sounds like overkill for a file that is supposed to become a Flash file to be used on the web. Looks like you are using a project that has been used for some broadcast stuff already. You should consider re-building the project with all the limitations for web output in mind or “do it right” from the start the next time you work on such a project.

December 4, 2005 at 9:01 pmThanx for the post.
I made a composition with nested comps all delayd by a value from the null slider. Each comp has its comps nested too and so on…
I killed the expressions by making keyframes and deleted the null too and finnally i realised that AE make bitmap mainly because of nested comps.
So final solution is to put all solids in the main comp and try to get the mathematical results of my expressions the delay
Tough job, because there are 32 comps that have each one 4 solids, so…there are a lot of mathematics to find all the keyframes…
Is there any other solution? I mean, there is not any posibility to export vectorial pre composed comps to flash?
Sorry for my english. -
