RE: FLASH: Car site using Flash in QuickTime?

[Niklas Gustavsson]

Well... Volvo has a seperate sites for US and the rest of the world. So you

have to search at some other site then the .com site :-)


Otherwise, no big problems besides that we were not able to get Generator

and QT to work very good together and since the movies are translated into

approx. 20 languages that was a big problem. Otherwise we had no big

obstacles... but ofcourse you have to think about that fact that QT can only

handle Flash3 movies and to keep the flash movie simple.


Thanks!

Thanks Niklas! It was driving me crazy that I couldn't find that site. It's

a very nice piece of work!


My first question is why couldn't I seem to find a link to that site from

the VolvoCars.com site!? The direct link you sent me works fine, but I

searched forever on the Volvo Cars site yesterday and couldn't get there.


But seriously, I am curious about your experience using Flash in QuickTime.

I have experimented with it just a very little bit but have always been a

little hesitant to use it in a "real" project. Did you encounter any

difficulties?


A few months ago I tried using QuickTime to play back some long Flash

animations inside of Director. Many of the files would display red

rectangles where graphic symbols where supposed to be. This tended to happen

mostly on low RAM machines so I chalked it up to problems with the way

QuickTime handles RAM usage with Flash tracks and moved on. Did you

encounter any of these symptoms?


Thanks for any insight you can offer, and once again, great work!
