Hi there,

I have a flash file that has so many objects, that rendering it as video and bringing it back in is the only solution, albeit with a loss of quality…

Anyhow, I can export my flash movie as a Quicktime Movie (32 bit colour with alpha), but when I run it thru the flash video encoder, with the ‘encode alpha channel’ option, then embed it in my flash file, it doesnt recognise the alpha anymore? I’ve tried all sorts of different options, but it just never seems to work?

Anyone?
