I just got the swf exporter for my birthday and i have some questions about it:
How do you actually set up a playable swf file?
It giving me an error because i used a semi transparency effect, can you not use any effects at all?
Can only mp3s be used for music?
1: Once you set the application type to an SWF file and build it, MMF2 will create the swf and an html file with the necessary embed code included. If you're planning on making a page that will play flash games for your own website, make sure you understand the basics of html before you jump in. If you just plan to use it on other websites, they usually embed for you. (Like TDC's flash tag: http://create-games.com/forum_post.asp?id=270549 ) Also, if you give someone an swf, they can play it on their computer simply by opening it with internet explorer.
2. Which semi-transparency effect are you using? It allows semi-transparency but not alpha blending. You have to replace the latter with the former.
3. MMF2 will compile the sound effects as MP3s for you. It does not support converting midis though.
