FLASH: Quicktime issues!

[maxx]

Jeez,


It's been a long time since posting, but I haven't had any Flash projects

come my way either, so there we are...


Anyway, I'm dyin'. I've compiled 3 15-20 sec clips together for a kiosk.

It's all full screen presentation QT so it's heavy on the draw. Two of the

clips are Flash exported QTs (Flash 4 authoring environment) and one After

Effects QT. All three were then subsequently reimported into Flash as QT

with simple segues between the three.


The compiled movie plays excellently on my simple B/W G3 400 mhz using QT

4.12 AND now with QT 5 preview. Any other machine in this office, a variety

of G4s and even the target B/W G3 crunches when it gets to the Flash track,

particularly my contribution (it's an efficient file...the swf and projector

both play perfectly.)


I worked efficiently, using tidy MCs and controlling them properly. The

other Flash user has an ungodly amount of layers and sound all over the

place with shape tweens and no mcs and lots of repeated non-symbols...just

not efficient. BUT, IT plays better on the other computers than mine does,

which I just don't get.


Does the QT player have issues with mc behavior or something? And if so,

then why would a G4 have crunchy issues, but my lowly B/W have absolutely no

problem.


Although the After Effects designer (feeling sorry for me) did just come and

told me that if all else fails, he's going to recreate his in Flash so that

we can just use simple full screen projectors, so this all may just be a

moot point. I'm just all kinds of distressed!
