Hi all,

I'm currently developing a cd rom comprised of flash objects within a
director movie. This works fine, flash talks to director and
everything plays back pretty well (apparently this isn't so on older
machines, but I havent had any problems so far).
As part of the cd rom, I have live actors with transparent backgrounds
appear in front of the swf's.
Originally I had done this by exporting a quicktime movie from
premiere, where the person has been bluescreened onto a flat blue
color, and then in director the movie was made background transparent.
This worked ok however only the EXACT color was made transparent, so
there were blue pixels everywhere.

My second idea was to export each frame as a transparent gif image,
and create a filmloop of the frames, and put it with the audio.

This works brilliantly in development (at 10 fps) however when I make
a projector the video always plays back too slow, and goes way out of
sync with the audio. Each frame is linked to externally, and im
assuming that a computer can't handle reading and displaying 10 files
a second, even from the hard drive.

Also, I've tried importing the gifs internally, but there's 9000 of
them, and director throws a bit of a fit.

Is there any way i could get this to work more reliably? I've also
toyed with the idea of making them into SWF's, khowever this would be
a LONG procedure, and from what i've seen so far flash is even more
unreliable as far as frame rates go.

The 9000 images are made up of many small sections. Maybe making each
section into its own cast file, and linking the gifs internally, would
help?

Thanks,

-Thomas
