Here’s a funny one… I make some sorta video in 3dsmax k? Then export as avi, and import to flashMX… why is it, that the imported avi turns grayscale and is skewed beyond all reason?
I checked the framerate when i export in 3dsmax just in case, but that’s not it… the fps match in both flash and 3ds! :-\
Does anyone have a clue why this happends?

Not sure… You can import .mpgs into MX fine…

me thinks this thread belongs in the MX forum, not the drawing and design forum. 🙂 I personaly have no clue… I neither use 3dSmax (anymore) or Flash MX. You might however get more replies if you posted this in the MX forum.
