Hi, anybody have some advise here? I'd like to import a flash animation into After Effects. Ive tried exporting an .avi from flash to import into AE BUT where my flash animation needs it, the nested animations DON'T run when exported to .avi. OH Poo...

Basically the animation is a panning animation so it was easier to nest the individual animations in a movie clip and then tween this to pan left. The movie pans in the .avi but the nested animations dont run.

Anybody?

As far as I know you can't export a flash file to a movie file of any description with the nested animations intact (you need the flash player to run the script). You could try a videograb of your monitor whilst the animation is running.

Get rid of all the code in your flash, turn movieclips into graphics, everything will run fine then.
I use .mov export as I'm on a mac, but it should work the same with avi.

I did not say it would be simple. I meant it was possible.
