Hi:?) . I have been trying to add filters to an animation, and exporting that animation as an AVI file. This doesn´t seem possible to me, because filters only work with movie clips and they dont work when exporting them as AVI files(_they just play the first frame_).  
Now the only way I have accomplished doing this, is by making all the keyframes in a graphic symbol as movie clips and adding filters that way, but this takes alot of time and is hard work for the computer:(…

So my question is:

[color=red]\*\*"Is there any simple way to use \*\*[/color][color=red]\*\*filters \*\*[/color][color=red]\*\*with \*\*[/color]  
[color=red] **animations and exporting them as AVI?"** [/color]
