Thanks to Sara for the movie clip tip! That worked for me while converting my 13 frame fla, with 13 movie clips, into an iPad compatible file. So I made a layer for each swf and extended each layer out to the end of the frames needed for that swf and was able to then export each layer to a .mov which will then be strung together in Quicktime for the final product! Thank you Sara.

If you have intensive timeline animation with many keyframes and sounds set your original file up at 29.97 fps then in the export window make sure you chose that option. No a.s can be in the timeline or qt won’t work from CS4 on. You will no longer get artifactng or dropped frames. 29.97 is QT ‘s native frame rate.

Guys, just take out any form of actionscript on the timeline and the export from flash to quicktime will work perfectly.

Deadline is probably over, but i've had this problem many times myself. Usually what causes it is the sounds being in nested movieclips with timelines shorter than the main timeline. If your sounds are contained in nested movieclips, these clips are probably reaching the end of their timeline before the animation is finished, then looping back to the beginning. You can either fix this with actionscript to stop playing the sound, or simply make sure that each nested movieclip's timeline is exactly as long as the main timeline. Hope this helps someone.

I found that any AS code will mess up the animation export. I had a "stop();" called at the end of the animation. When I deleted the entire code, I found that I could export in no time.

I used CS4 export to MOV settings, no sound, and to stop exporting after last frame was reached. 240 frames long at 30 fps. Completed in a minute and ready in a working .mov file! The flash file was on the desktop, and not a server, and exported back to desktop. No problem finally!!

Thanks all!

I’m exporting a QuickTime mov from flash and it’s been about an hour. Is this normal?
