I am currently using FlexPDE 5. I solved a parabolic problem. I want to export the result as a movie, but when I open the generated pg5 file and choose export movie, the only thing that happpens is that the movie is played on the screen, nothing is exported. |

You need to use the "Export Movie" menu item. See "Movie" and "Movies" in the Help Index. |

This is of course what I tried. But what happens then is that the movie is played. And that's it. No images are exported. |

Thank you for pointing out the subtlety in this operation. I will add a diagnostic warning: The documentation of "Movies" has the following instructions. Notice the first bulleted item. You must maximize a selected frame before the export becomes operational. Otherwise, the movie would have all the disparate frames intermingled. ---------------------------- 2) A new facility "Export Movie" has been added to the "View" menu. · Double-click to maximize a selected frame in the thumbnail display. · Click "View | Export Movie". This will bring up a selection dialog to set the export parameters. · The selected frame will be scanned as for Movie, and all files will be written according to the selected parameters. · Use JASC AnimationShop to assemble the individual files into a GIF animation. · Use GIF2SWF or other conversion program to create Flash animations. ---------------------------------
