Publishing and Exporting > About export file formats
About export file formatsYou can export Flash movies and images in more than a dozen different formats, as shown in the table that follows. Movies are exported as sequences, and images as individual files. PNG is the only cross-platform bitmap format that supports transparency (as an alpha channel). Some nonbitmap export formats do not support alpha (transparency) effects or mask layers.
For more information on a specific file format, see the sections that follow.
