Hi,
Does someone have an idea of the settings use in this example.
This one have been made with poser pro 4. I would want to make similar things or better if possible with poser 7.
Is there someone using poser to create flash content ? Have u got some examples ?
Thanks for your help.

All I can suggest is to do some short flash renders at different settings (they don't take long to render.)
Just do a simple one figure 30 frame walk cycle with low everything. This should give you an idea about what the different settings will give you.

You might be better to render as an avi or a series of pictures and use another program to convert the files to flash.

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 ?

Poser's internal Flash is not worth using. It's extremely slow and inflexible,
and requires you to set color limitations that aren't really needed.
Much better to render to separate frames, then use an external app to
combine them into SWF.
My favorite is the little free utility MotionSWF, available here:

Here's a short instruction text for MotionSWF, since the
original instructions are in Japanese:

Hi dougi
Here is a link to an example of a flash movie I made with poser. I am new at this so forgive the mistakes.

I use an 800 x 600 windows screen and after watching the animation I couldn`t close the window.
The animation is a bit too large for my computer at least, the sound jumps, the animation worked ok, if you make the animations a bit smaller then they should work ok on most computers.

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.
