thanks for all the help there! We were going to use flash because we are an in house marketing department in a B2B company and we don't have anyone with after effects skills, or anything other than flash. Also it will be predominantly animation and text, with some video integrated into certain parts.

I realise its predominantly made to create interactive pices for the web, and so isn't designed to output to a tv screen, but we have to work with the resources available - I am looking into after effects but I don't know if I will have time to learn it.

So basically if I make the flash movie at the pixel size of a 42" screen? The thing is I tried this with making it to the full size of my PC screen, but when i published the movie the resolution had all gone - how do I import the movie into flash and then publish the movie without losing any resolution?!

(NB: HD Footage isn't vital but our product manager shoots weddings spare time and has all the equipment to shoot in HD - is it better for him to shoot NOT in HD though if using Flash MX 2004?)

Thanks again guys!
