I am trying to export a .fla file to .avi - the problem that I am running into is the avi file is crap when I open it - off centered, blurry, different colors. It just looks bad. Any ideas?

- there is an 80 MB avi file that I imported into the fla’s timeline before I export the whole fla to avi.

what exactly are you trying to do??? it looks like crap because a avi is already compressed and yet your adding more compression by using flash and if your using mx you cant do much for compression options. My suggestion use a compositing app like AE or combustion and do what you want to do
