    Exporting to FLV

    msalome Community Member
      Any reason flv would not be an option when I try to export? Is there something I need to do to my .fla before this option becomes available? I can export as .swf, quicktime, animated gif, pict sequence, and several other kinds of image sequences.

      I thought there might be a problem with the way my software was installed at work (Windows) so I downloaded a trial copy at home (Mac) and am having the same problem with the same .fla.

          You can't export timeline animation in Flash as an FLV file. It's a video only option and becomes available when you import a video file into Flash.
          You can export animation as a Quicktime file, re-import it back into Flash, and then export as an FLV

            There is no export to FLV. You need to produce some other video format then you
            can convert it to FLV using the Encoder or Import Video option.
