Yes preferably in a non-lossy format (i.e. not jpeg).

That sort of depends on the animation and what you are going to do with

it. Quicktime movies are generally bitmaps (though now Flash can be a

component). In general if you are not planning on converting the

Quicktime to vectors or the display will not be be very small, I would

consider adding Flash to the Quicktime rather than Quicktime to Flash.

Of course this is Quicktime 4 which is still Beta
