Re: FLASH: Quicktime in flash. Another Question

The QuickTime publish option creates movies in the QuickTime 4

format. When Flash creates a QuickTime file, it copies the Flash

movie on a separate track. The Flash movie plays in the

QuickTime movie exactly as it does in the Flash Player, retaining

all of its interactive (Flash 3 for now) features. If the Flash movie

contains a

QuickTime movie, Flash copies it to a separate track in the new

QuickTime file.

Not totally true. When exporting as video you must use a single

sequential straight timeline playback so you can't use Movie Clips for

instance because they void the single timeline concept needed for

standard video. Buttons are either not supported or have special

limitations. Other interactive features and whether Flash 2 or 3 is

supported varies by the format. For instance Real Video is still Flash 2

(soon to be Flash 4). 


QT 4 is limited to Flash 3 features, so far as I know. If not already

done a future release of QT4 is expected to be Flash 4 compatible.
