AE export to swf question

1

Hey everyone, so I just got After Effects 6.5 in the mail yesterday. :smiley: After waiting a month for it to ship out…thing is, I’ve never used it, downloaded the trial of 6.0 when I ordered a month ago and have only done one tutorial…anyway, there is the option to export to .swf but when I do, there is no animation?.. It’s just a still picture?..Am I doing something wrong? Or is this what it is supposed to do? I searched through these forums and couldn’t find a topic like this - even more frustrating I found a thread where everyone’s minds kept being blown by some guys graphic work, but the links to his pics were all dead…lol…so I couldn’t see what the excitement was about :frowning: Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, or can maybe tell me the best way to export, 'cause I tried another way and I ended up with 300 individual images, and quicktime made the file 13mb?..thanks everyone :smiley:

lol…yeah I ordered it about a month ago, it was on back order and they said it would ship out by the end of May, well, it came onThursday :smiley: Now I get to try to figure this thing out…it’s weird to me so far…I guess being used to flash timelines and all…any good starting points?..I’ve done searches for tutorials, but most of them assume I know something already, I’ll get on to reading the book that came with AE, but I’m in the middle of a flash book right now…if you have any ideas, I’d appreciate them…thanks.
