I have recently been experimenting with exporting from Carrara to Flash, with mixed results. I use the Toon Plug-in and the Poser Pro-Pack. With the Toon Plug-in I have rendered out to animated GIF and sequenced GIF. I import in to Fireworks to optimize the palette, then import to Flash as a symbol. The problem I run into the most with this technique is file size. With the Poser Pro-Pack, I import simple models from Carrara as wavefront objects and animate them in Poser, or I render an AVI movie from Carrara and import it into Poser as a background movie and render out to Flash. File sizes are fairly manageable, but no cool Carrara camera controls or other special FX. Also 12 fps seems to yield the best results for quality and file size in both applications.
