I can't export in MX 2004!

I'm new to Flash and I really wanted to export a little animation I made, but everything I do to export my video is not working!

-Can't export to QuickTime, my version doesn't support it, even at Flash Player 5

-Compressed AVI crashes for some reason

-Uncompressed is too long and is "corrupted", of which I can't encode it because my grace period for the Encoder is over

-SWF to MP4 just makes audio, terrible audio at that

I have NO IDEA what to do! Any way of making a video that isn't SWF doesn't work at all!

Please help me!

Correct answer kglad

your os is not compatible with mx 2004.

you might be able to reinstall using compatibility mode (win xp), but even that's likely to fail, too because other needed components will be missing.

I've had this problem too. Instead of exporting it, I instead, used a screen capture software (i used OBS) and recorded a playback of the animation i made.

Hey dude!

Did you solve your problem? I'm amazed to know that there's still people using Macromedia Flash MX 2004!!!!! :O

I'm going to revive my old personal project in MX 2004 (https://actraiserproject.wordpress.com/), I'm on Windows 10 64bit too and I have an idea. Respond my message if you're still interested.

Best regards

Well anyway, it may be of help for somebody with the same issue.

The deal is to install Windows XP on a Virtual Machine, that is, download Windows XP Mode from Microsoft and Virtual Box (I recommend VMWare Player), all free, BUT, Windows XP will run for only a 30-day period unless you have a spare XP license, otherwise you'll have to reinstall. I leave a step-by-step tutorial:

Download Windows XP for Free and Legally, Straight From Microsoft

I hope this helps.
