RE: FLASH: Exporting Quicktime from Flash

[Phillip Kerman]

For any reasonable performance, you only want the video to play "Direct to

Stage".


However... you can include a mask channel in a QT video.  Open up the video

in Movie Player, menu Movie>Get Info.  Set the drop down on the left to:

Movie Track, Set the dropdown on the right to: Mask then click "Set" and

point to a PNG or other graphic file with an alpha channel (you could use

Fireworks and create a new document and use "transparent" for the background

color).


Plays well in Director!
