Try this:
When u import an AVI file, flash is goin to open an dialogue box with a few options: quality, keyframe interval, etc…
Set movie quality to 100%.

I’VE TRYED ALL OF THOSE THINGZ:
– WHEN I SET THE quality TO 100% IT STILL LOOKS BAD…
– AFTER EFFECTS DIDN’T RECONIZE THE FILE TYPE…
– AS FOR “JUST EXPORT AN SWF”, I DON’T GET WUT YOU MEAN (THANX ANYWAYZ MCNASTY)
SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT FLASH HANDLES .MOV’s ALOT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER VIDEO TYPE…
“DOSE ANYONE KNOW OF ANY PROGRAM THAT CONVERTS AVI TO MOV???”

well man, first of all, im not too sure that you can actually just straight up open an avi in after effects. after effects has a native project file type of its own…
so create a new project then import the avi file…then export the project to a swf file…
hope that helps…
