The end result doesn't even look good, and like andy said I immediately thought of exporting to FLV from after effects and the alpha channel. In part 1, I've never heard anyone so interested in using fireworks. That could have been done with even more flexibility in photoshop. I’m not impressed at all by this 2 part tutorial.

Then click the "VIDEO" tab in the dialogue that pops-up and be sure to check the box "Encode alpha channel". The resulting .flv drops straight into flash just like a transparent .png. Actually, lots of sites are using AE animation for animated rollover buttons and embedding these small .flvs in the timeline is the preferred method. (It's be a true heresy to stream them...)

Seems a lot of Pt1, pt2 going on. Thanks for the Free info. I know I dont have the right to ask for anything because it's free. But I will ask any way, do away with parts, good stuff, I guess you ran out of time to make it all in one video. Seems a lot of Pt1, pt2 going on. Thanks for the Free info.
