I’m new to the board…just a quick question. I’ve exported an Flash animation as a .mov on a Mac computer. Now I’ve mailed it over to my friend who’s on a PC and he’s unable to open it? Is there some sort of setting that makes it compatible on both platforms? ---

you could try embedding the swf on an html page maybe? ---

embedding it into an .html is a great suggestion. Unfortunately I need the file as a stand alone .mov… ---

I don’t know a whole lot about opening quicktime files on a pc but I thought you could. Maybe the pc person does not have quicktime installed? you might just have to make two files then, .exe and .mov
