I'm trying to crate a simple Flash banner with a transition only in color or an object created in Illustrator and text. Made a few versions of the same object and imported to AE. Made opacity transitions between layers, and it looks fine in the preview. When I export it to SWF it looks badly pixelated and ugly.
Jpeg settings are set to highest. Do Illustrator objects really need to be jpg'ed in a SWF at all?. Don't know what I'm doing wrong here.
This should be a simple thing to do, no?

If what you are doing is simple you may want to try this: http://blog.greensock.com/tweenl…
- i don't think this can help. i don't want any motion at this point, just change in color over timeadded_valium

".....just change in color over time"
you can do that with as, no need for ae. look at taht tweenlite link.

No need to use AE, CS4 has all the tools you will need .

This is how easy it is to change color over time with Tweenlite. The 1 represents how many secs you want the color change take.
import gs.TweenLite;
TweenLite.to(yourMovieClip, 1, {tint:0x3399ff});

Seems I wasn't really clear enough.
I'm not really familiar with Flash and would like to avoid it as much as I can at this point (unless it's really simple to do), but do know AE and Illustrator. I thought I would be able to do this easy transition and output to swf quite easily. Want to put this on top of a web page.
Actually tried rendering as flv, but that didn't work well. Tried exporting as gif too, but that looks low-quality.

if you know ae already, then just export out an .mov
then import it into flash. flash will take care of the flv conversion.- i'll try that. just thought those vector objects didn't need to be rasterized if i keep it flashadded_valium

- what i want is the logo on on top of the page to change color over time. don't think qt is the best way to do thisadded_valium

Dude if you don't know what you're doing in Flash then just follow our advice we (well most of us) know what we're on about. It doesn't exactly make anyone want to dish out more help after you're adamantly making your case for using after effects.
That goes for those of you mentioning CS4. He doesn't have it he made that clear now STFU and PIIYB.If you're looking to tween an object between colours you don't even have to use an Actionscript.
Just make a new keyframe however far ahead in the timeline, and then right click on the frames inbetween and click "create motion tween". Now select the keyframe you just created then the object you want to fade the colours of.Open the Properties panel and in the dropdown in the righthand-side of the panel select the relavant attribute to tween (it sounds like you want to use Tint, but I'm not entirely sure).
Hope this helps.- guess i'll have to go the flash route then. i'll try to figure it out following your advice. thxadded_valium

export as qt with an alpha channel and lay it over the flash parts
