Exporting overview

The Export Movie command in Macromedia Flash MX lets you create content that can be edited in other applications and export a movie directly into a single format. For example, you can export an entire movie as a Flash movie; as a series of bitmap images; as a single frame or image file; and as moving and still images in various formats, including GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, PICT, QuickTime, or AVI.

When you export a Flash movie in Flash MX format, text is encoded in Unicode format, providing support for international character sets, including double-byte fonts. Likewise, Flash Player 6 supports Unicode encoding. See Unicode text encoding in Flash movies.

If you have Macromedia Dreamweaver, you can add a Flash movie to your Web site easily. Dreamweaver generates all the needed HTML code. You can launch and edit Flash from within Dreamweaver to update the Flash movie. See Updating Flash movies for Dreamweaver UltraDev.
