I think the issue you'll find here is that, the work area of the Flash IDE is not the Flash player. Any content created in the IDE can be made use of however Adobe see fit as it's an IDE, but the player is cut down for file size and speed purposes.
Your best bet is to either look up exporting frames from an SWF in the IDE itself, or lookup other IDE's / decompilers and see if they support it.

I know you can export from the IDE but since everything I'm using is dynamic I can't use those functions. My current best method is to print the swf to a pdf from the player and open that pdf in Illustrator. Unfortunatly I lose all my alpha and filter data in this process, and since I might have 1000 or more instances in my export those values are nearly impossible to recreate. I've tried adjusting the pdf settings but I haven't found the right combo yet. Does anybody here know of a method to export still frames (I'm not trying to export video or motion here) from the swf in a vector format? This issue has been nagging me for quite a while now, and I haven't found any tutorials or tips online on how to do it. I'd really appreciate any feedback from this forum. Thanks a lot. -=Mason _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
