Thanks ockham, i will try motionSWF in the future (or squeeze/flix) but i'm little bit afraid of the size.

Thanks sdraun for the example but like xantor, i have many problems to read it...but the result looks really nice specially for a first try.

To keep all in vectors, the best things could be
    - poser to easily make the character an animate it
    - bodystudio to import it into maya
    - maya to render it in a swf or swft (swift3d)

At this time, I can't still make the tests...my computer is too slow.

But once again, in a first stage, if i can get a render as in the example it should be really great.

1/ I will make some try with poser 7 of some direct render to flash. In a first stage, the example i give u would be perfect...So if someone got the settings, please let me know. the first i have made were very bad. one character badly drawn without any animation give me about 110 kB. the example have 3 animated characters with sound for 211KB.

In a next step, loading the poser scene into maya for example that have a native flash export could be the solution.

3/ making a swf from an avi...once again have u some experience in that and something to show or see somewhere else ? not to heavy?

4/ What do u think of making a flv video that u could browse by the way of cuepoints ?
