Webmaster Forum / Flash / General Flash Topics / March 2008

I've had issues with Flash before, but this is the first problem that has
actually been *insane*. I'm trying to export some animated scenes to QuickTime
movies (exporting as an .avi gives horrible quality no matter what the settings
are), and I get an error message:

"The installed version of QuickTime does not support this type of Macromedia
Flash movie.
Quicktime requires Macromedia Flash version 5 or before.

Please select "Version: Flash Player 5" in the Flash tab of the Publish
Settings dialog."

Now the annoying part is, I've already set the version to Flash 5 in the
Publish Settings dialog. And every time I get this message I check the settings
again to make sure the version did in fact "stick" and hasn't switched itself
back somehow. It hasn't. I've set the version to Flash 5 just like the error
message told me to ... and it tells me I have to set the version to Flash 5.
Is the problem with Quicktime and not Flash? I tried updating that and it
still asks me to set the version to Flash 5 (which it already is). Do I need to
find an older version of Quicktime?

Someone PLEASE help.
