    Help - Need Flash movie/swf to play on DVD

    Hello,

    I have a quick question re: an issue that hopefully hasnt been taken up before and i missed (sorry if so).

    I have a client that wants to be able to run a looping SWF/flash intro from a DVD...basically they just want it for expos/booth. It evidently needs to run from a regular DVD player/TV, and not from a laptop, etc.

    I've researched it and found some software that converts SWFs and burns to a VCD, but it looked and ran like complete crap.

    Any suggestions on how I might tackle this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Well you can not use Flash on a DVD, so you can export ( from Flash ) as a QuickTime or avi movie, that you burn on a dvd ( Im on Mac so I dont know the DVD authoring software that does this on PC ).
    Note that animations inside movieclips wont work. Only things happening in the main timeline.

    You can use a .swf to .avi converter, and all animations in movie clips will appear in the .avi, since it's not exported from the .fla but converted from the .swf.

    Mailed you a link to such a converter.
