Hi All

As you may have seen from a previous post, I'm wanting to use Flash 8 to
jazz up video presentations so file sizes are sacrafised over video quality.
The anims would go out on DVDs or we would play them on our own laptops
rather than as web anims or web downloads.

My problem is playing the finished SWFs to a 3rd party when we aren't there.

Because my video/flash work was getting too unweidley I recently broke up a
presentation into 3 x SWF parts and then played them in sequence using a
standard free SWF player that most seem to use on the web. The problem is a
lot of our peers (shall we say) have to pay to have even the simplest
software installed on their laptops (local government you see!!) so I can't
just pass on our recent presentation to one of our peers for them to have a
look at on DVD, as the hassle factor of having the SWF player installed and
then getting them to run the playlist in full screen mode, etc really
complicates what should be a straightforward task.

What would be great is if I could *reliably* convert the finished FLA or SWF
to an AVI, WMV or even a FLV (VideoLAN plays these). I've tried a couple of
apps but they either make the file massive (and I mean massive) or the
result is really poor, ie out of sync, video chunks, missing, etc.

Anybody got any ideas or done this before?

Thanks

Get a real copy of Flash and turn your .swf into an .exe using "Create
Projector."
