I’ve made an animation in flash that I want to export to AVI. When I export it to AVI, everything animated on the main timeline plays but everything in the movieclip is frozen on the first frame of that movieclip. Is there a way to have it save everything into the exported video?

I’m thinking of recording it playing in Flash with Camtasia Studio and croping the area I need, but that’s a lot more work than I intended to do. :cantlook:
