Ive been asking the same question lately and from what i understand you have two options, well a few but two that stand out anyway. You can save your animation out of poser, and save as an avi file yeh? The you have a few options really. You could then take your avi into Adobe Premier and export into gif format. Then import that gif file into flash and save an a SWF file. The problem with this, or so im told is that Flash 4 or 5 tends to create rather big file sizes, in fact i tried it and the avi was exactly the smae size as the flash i created. The secret it seems is to play around with the settings in both poser and also Premier. Keep your movies as short as possible, perhaps play around with the GIF export settings and reduce the number of colour if you can. And keep your movie dimensions down as small as possible. n other words dont try creting a Flash movie from an ive that is 640x640. Sorry i cant be more help but hope it gives you an idea. Im told that Flash3 offers smaller SWF files when importing GIF files, but not sure how much truth there is in that. P>S Ive just re-read your question and your looking to export and avi movie from poser yeh? Assuming of course that you have created an animation you need to then go into "Animation" on your top tool bar then "make movie" that brings up a dilaog box where you can choose the size etc. Hope that helps a bit more lol :) Later!
