I hate super heavy cpu supersucker vector animations online, I prefer streaming video :) And vector animations compress way nicer to video as photographic content does. I think it is simple to write a tool that onenterframe captures any (swf-loaded) animation frame to a bitmap, which you can save with AIR as a jpg or png. Easy to combine this jpg's to an mjpeg video stream in any reasonable videopackage or with ffmpeg ( http://www.ffmpeg.org/faq.html#SEC14 ).

It sounds like it's time to encode the flash animation to video.


For some of the cases, yeah. You are right in that encoding to video would solve the issue for local playback. Give me a shout when you find a tool that actually can do it properly.

But it is not acceptable for online distribution. I myself hate people uploading video encodings of their vector animations. It's needlessly big files and the quality just isn't as good as the source material.
