Hello. I am an animator. My job is to create just MP4 files, not interactive content with interactive elements. I have no experience with ActionScript yet, but I imagined two examples of ActionScript usage.
1. Physics
When there is a character animation holding a torch, implement smoke physics in ActionScript. When scrubbing the timeline in the Animate GUI, of course you won't see any smoke. But in the swf runtime, the torch symbol will emit smoke and automatically react to the character's movements. Output this as an MP4 file or PNG sequence.
2. Timeline control
Create a 100-frame scene and use ActionScript to control the timeline so that different frames are played according to the input of the audio waveform. If the input audio has a playback time of 300 frames, the final output MP4 file or PNG sequence must also have a playback time of 300 frames.
In fact, as I understand ActionScript is runtime-only, I'm not sure if any visual effects or timeline controls created with ActionScript will be reflected in the output of the MP4 file or PNG sequence. Perhaps if this isn't possible, one option would be to leave the SWF playing and record the screen using a screencast tool like OBS Studio.
Please give your opinion on my speculations about ActionScript.
