Another Noobo question

[annanas]

Hey person peoples

I haven't been on newgrounds for ages, life has been way too busy. What I wanted to ask you people is wether I can get an animation which is in swf. form into something which I can post on youtube, I am working on this whole "save the enviorment" project in school, This movie contains sound which is vital to the whole movie, so I can not just convert the whole thing to GIF's. I remember there was a way I could do it but I had to stay away from using repeating movie clips... which I do alot, I would like to keep away from that method (if possible) so if any of you could help me, then please do.

File>Publish settings...>Check .avi or some file format.

Yeah, movieclip animations won't work when exporting to avi. Your best bet is to install and run a program which videos your desktop, such as Camtasia, then just record the playing swf to that.

Sorry for the late reply, I have been really busy the last few days

Ok, using something like camtasia would probably work, thanks for the advice, but wouldn't that decrease the quality of the animation? also would it still record all of the sound in the animation.

Also if anyone knows any easier way to get this thing to work please share it.

P.S
I am using Flash8 professional if that is of any importance

Screen records have many draw backs like, if your computer can't record and play at the sametime, what about quality and sound, why did it lag more.

what you should of do was do the right thing and never use MC's for animation, your surpose to use graphic symbols. now you can in fact convert MC's to graphic. now im not sure if flash 9/10 has a change all function, but changing the symbol type in library doesn't change it for all. use the movie explorer to find and change the symbol type yourself by selecting the symbol and changing the setting in the properties panel or window.

also one note you can only export about 5K frames or about 3minutes of animation.
if you have more you have to split your animation in parts then join back together again as video.
