i made a movie using after effects and i use the sorenson movie compressor for the setting.the problem is when i import the movie into flash,it appears to be (very)low in quality.how can i preserve the quality of the movie in flash and keep the file size small?

Search the forums please. I can clearly remember at least two different please about importing video to flash.
And you can’t expect good quality for low file size.

what version of flash are you using? Flash MX 2004 handles video much better than Flash MX and i sugest you get the flash video exporter it has the best compression IMHO good luck 😉

So could i get a 2 second (27 MB \>\<) after effects avi and somehow compress it in the new flash MX 2004?

if you have the flash video exporter yeah you could probably turn that 27mb file into 8 or 2mb file, downside is the flash video exporter only comes with the pro version of MX 2k4

If the movie doesn’t have sound you can export it as an image sequence and have great quality.

The probelm with image sequences is that if the resolution is pretty high the computer will experience playback slowdown trust me i had a 400+ image sequence at 800x600 and it would render my system unusable, so it really depends on how big in pixels the sequence is.
As for using the flash video exporter install it and im not sure if it works with any quicktime version, if not you need quicktime pro and open the avi or mov file from quicktime then export it as a flv from quicktime. Trust me this is the best way to get the animation working that will be less processor intensive for the computer.
Good luck 😉

Swift is vector, so couldn’t you get nice quality without an image sequence?

Vector and raster look a lot different.

Install free Macromedia Flash Video Exporter and directly from AE you can export your movie to FLV format. Now you can play your nice quality movie directly if flash.
