Title: Re: FLASH: Flash in Quicktime 4 -- what features work?

Hi John,

Mystery solved. After a lot of head scratching and debugging what I KNEW was perfectly fine Flash work (I was right), it turned out to be a simple case of exporting as "Quicktime Video" rather than "Quicktime."

So if you put any warnings in your book about  Flash in Quicktime it should maybe be just one sentence:

"Remember not to do anything dumb during the export."

Thanks.

Since haven't seem nor have I heard of any unsupported features of
Flash3 in QT4 (except Load movies) I couldn't tell you about them or put
them in a book. With all of these problems you or someone first needs to
eliminate other sources of problems and hopefully issolate the problems.

Is this repeatable in a separate (small) movie we could test or is it
only in your movie?
