I’m trying to export an old fla into an avi, the problem is after it’s done exporting, none of of my actionscripting works (“setInterval” for example). Is there any way around this, or should I just bite the bullet and redo everything in a video editing program?
AVIs don’t support ActionScript. Exporting to AVI creates a series of frames, not anything even remotely dynamic. Therefore, you cannot have setInterval – or any AS for that matter – in an AVI.
Another interpretation of what you wrote…
Your ActionScript doesn’t work after exporting an AVI? Meaning that in your FLA itself, when you try to export/test the movie (compile the SWF) Flash stops parsing the ActionScript correctly?

Yeah, that. Like I said, is there any way around it?
if the problem is that you have programmatic motions and animation in your file that isn’t being exported in the AVI, then I would suggest using a program like camtasia or something to capture a video of screen captures in order to get the animation into a video editing program. You may need to do some cropping though.
