you have been SO HELPFUL ! thanks !! we need more people like you.

so you are saying i can render out an .flv file and just rename the extension to .swf ?? would this be a smaller file ? i cant seem to get the .swf file smaller than 56 megs out of after effects, the only way would be to make the actual size (600x336) smaller....but this would make the animation too small on the screen....and i like the size of it now. i will try the .flv thing tonight.
the firefox thing fixed itself. this morning when i tried it, it played the flash file. slowly and sluggishly, like safari, but it played it back. so maybe it had to update ? dont know....not sure. thanks again....and let me know about renaming the file...can i just change the extension ?
thanks a million!!

ME AGAIN....sorry for the long string of emails. someone just told me i could use a "pre-loader" ?? because the file takes a while to load, adn as its loading it kind of steps throught the animation....once it loads...if you right click on it and tell it to play...it plays back in real time speed. so if put in a preloader, this would allow for people NOT to see the slow sluggish animation, but they will see the preloader, and then once its done loading, the preloader goes away and the animation plays back fine. does this make sense ? any idea where i can find instructions on how to use preloaders ? or how to put them in web ? thanks.
