Could someone advise me where (and which) I get a flash installer for use on CD’s? I need to give the option to install from the Cd (not online). The types I have used before turned out to be for netscape which is not what I was after:(
Also…while I am showing people how thick I am I might as well go for the full monty!..I do a lot of animation in poser and then transfer the image work to flash but as you can imagine this uses masses of keyframes, I have been advised to export the posewr movies in AVI format but the quality sucks (probably my fault!!) so…does anyone know of a good video program to use for this type of thing??
Thanks in advance to all you whizzkids out there!!!
heres something about installer distribution on MMs site

hit ctrl+shift+F12, then in formats check the box windows projector, and click on publish
your movie now is a .EXE file that has the plugin embed, and it will run in any machine 
gotta agree with guigo on this one its much better to use a executable or projector file instead of using html on a cd based presentation, with the exe and projector files you dont have to worry about what operating system or what plugin version of flash the user has itll work on any pc i made a cd presentation and used exes and projector files and it worked on every pc i tried it on even on win95 and mac os 8 so you can reach a wider audience with exe and projector files. Thats what i recommend

Thanks for the info people.
Don’t suppose you can give me any info regarding the second part of the question? (Greedy aint I ?) if you go to my home page it will give you an idea of what I am doing on the cd prez, only on a much larger scale…the figure on the website was created in poser and transferred in single images to flash…so there is quite a few keyframes involved, however because of the small image size and the relatively small amount of movement this doesnt create too much of a problem on the website…the cd prez involves a hell of a lot more and therefore any advice on video /rendering programs would be great.

i honestly dont know what formats poser exports to but i know you can convert avi and mov files into mpgs just choose the best settings you can in the poser program and as for avi recompression tools i suggest tmpgenc for more info regarding video compression and programs check this site http://www.vcdhelp.com they have tons of free tools and tutorials so you can achieve what your trying to accomplish

Thanks again for all the help…Just for your info, I have been exporting the images from poser in TIFF format and then changing them to gif format in Photoshop followed by importing them to flash with a transparent background…which still needs to be refined (i.e each image has to be cut around) …pretty nightmarish job when you have about 100-150 images to do!!!
Thanks once more…???
hmmmmmmmmm…

Pretty ghoulish name for such a helpful Guy!!!(-:
tmpgenc also creates mpgs of sequenced images like jpgs bitmaps and other image formats its a great program considering the low price tag it has, as for the transparent bg stuff id recommend using pngs instead of gif pngs are better quality and if youre using fireworks to export into png use fireworks instead of photoshop since fireworks exports 32 bit pngs photoshop only does 24bit, and make sure you check out posers export option because im sure you can export it with no background if not put a solid color as your backgrouns and in photoshiop select the background with the magic want tool and delete it itll take a while but its easier than having to extract from the image
