Supported features for SWF export


    When creating compositions intended for the SWF format, note the following information about each feature:

    Layers

    Only Normal blending mode is supported. The following layer types and layer switches aren't supported: Track Mattes, 3D Layers, 3D Cameras, 3D Lights; Adjustment Layers, Preserve Transparency, Collapse Transformations, and Motion Blur.

    Masks

    Only masks with Add mask mode or Difference mask mode are supported; multiple masks in a layer must use the same mask mode. If Add mode is specified, Partial Opacity and the mask Inverted option are also supported. Mask feathers are not supported.

    Note: The SWF Exporter renders overlapping Add mode masks that include alpha channels or partial opacity differently from After Effects.

    Effects

    Path Text is the only supported effect, limited to one layer per effect. All Path Text options are supported except the following: Composite on Original, Fill and Stroke/Options/Fill Over Stroke, and Advanced/Mode/Difference.

    Resolution

    The SWF Exporter always creates files at full resolution (size of composition) and renders JPEG-compressed bitmap images at full resolution.

    Adobe Illustrator files

    Only stroked paths and filled paths in CMYK or RGB color spaces are supported. Illustrator layers that contain masks or have Collapse Transformations enabled are rasterized.
