Thanks for the offer, but that wouldn't work. I need to be the one going back and forth between modifying MA3, capturing a sequence, trying it out against the background of the website, adjusting the animation and colors, etc. As with anything I try, there will literally be hundreds of failures before I get something I can use.

On the bright side I just found out that Adobe Premiere can export Flash, even though it is not on the list of file formats supported. I just downloaded a capture program called Taksi, which looks like it will do the job of capturing raw frames. I should be able to re-write MA3 so that a Lionfish will stay in the same place and go through a repeating "treading-water" move. Then I need to make the surrounding window tightly cropped around the fish, and cature one swim-cycle. I can then use Premiere to edit the frames and save it as a Flash animation. I still need do figure out how to incorporate that animation into the web site.
