export .avi movie + external .xml and .as files

[worked]

Hey there-  I usually get great help from this board... and was just wondering if someone could help with this issue.  

I have a simple flash slideshow application that loads images from an external xml file and rotates them on stage via a Timer.  What I want to do is export this app to .avi or .mov for a tradeshow booth in October.

Anyway, when I perform the "Export > Export Movie" in flash, it only exports the first frame, trimming all the transitions and images.  Also, this app includes a document class as well.  Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

is it a MUST that the output be .avi or .mov?

why dont you just output it to exe...because tradeshow booths are pcs anyways. u can even have people intereact with your swf. simply go into publish settings...under the formats tab..make sure EXE is enabled if you are running on a pc or .APP is enabled if you are running on a mac. publish the movie and you can install it on the booth station. simple

if you must have it in avi or mov...then flash cannot do it alone. you need to import the swf into a video editing program like After Effects, then you can convert your swf into any video format you wish

Hope that helps

Yes, unfortunately in this particular case, the laptop that's attached to the monitor is limited in what can be installed (no admin rights).  So simply playing the movie from a dvd, would be the easiest way to do it. 

I'll look into the After Effects solution.  Thanks!

ok. there are many solutions out there. just google swf to avi  OR swf to mov. i am sure you will find free stuff you can download to do this convertion

Thanks again...

Also, I discovered that I can "record" in hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds of any fla generated, either with or without external assets.  A video by Brimlow on gotoandlearn describes it in detail.
