"Export Movie" as PNG Sequence for movies with actionscript animation?

[Scotopia]

Hello All,

I was wondering if there is any way to use the "Export Movie" as "PNG Sequence" to work for movies where objects are animated with actionscript. Exporting like this works just dandy for normal animations, but it doesn't work for my current project. Basically I am creating images using mathematics and I want to be able to export the result as a png for use in other programs like photoshop; but since the images are created with actionscript the export just shows a blank image. Am I reduced to just taking a screenshot of the result and tediously removing all the should-be-transparent regions with the wand tool? Someone please tell me there is a better way; thanks!

I'm no expert so there may be a simpler way. You could convert the swf to a movie file (.mov, .avi) using a swf converter. you could then bring the movie into photoshop and go to select-colour range then select the background colour and remove it. If there are many frames you can set this up as an action in PS.

If you have after effects you could bring the file in and change the keying colour to your background colour which will remove the background for the whole movie (like greenscreening). I always wondered why they don't put keying in PS.
