My SWF file plays properly, but if I open the file in After Effects the movie symbols don’t play. Changing the movie symbols into graphic symbols works but then of course I lose my filters.

I would export straight to MOV from Flash but that brings up so many other glitches…

Basically I am looking for a good way to get video from flash.

Thanks!
