It sounds like you should probably take a different approach. Using Flash
is used because the files sizes are so small. Maybe you should just build
the frames in another app. like Ulead and then make them an avi and just
skip Flash all together. I don't understand why you would make a simple
annimation an avi and not just keep it as a flash file?

Sorry.
