When I export my ASP5 animation (rigging an imported photo with bones) as a quicktime mov or as avi file, the export is done successfully, but when I export as flash swf, it makes an empty flash, with nothing displayed in it (using firefox or IE).

What am I doing wrong? flash is exported fine when no photo is imported in the animation. Is there any specific setting regarding image import I should do?
Please help.

Read the Flash Tips in the built it help of Anime Studio.

Thanks for directing me.
That's disappointing to know. Exporting to swf has many limitations.
What is the format ASP users export to the most?

For most of the non-flash targets the most versatile and full compatible with any system is the image sequence using PNG: good quality, transparency is kept, and any operating system compatible. The bad: no sound and need a video editor to compile into a movie and to add sound. Other goodness: you can change frame rate very quick or even partially. Also can edit individual frames to do cheating

As linux user this is my unique option because there is not movie export in linux.

Go with quicktime sallam, even on the pc this is great if you want to keep your sound, also it supports transparency and it has good quality.
If you dont need sound or want to make a gif or even just want to edit elswhere PNG as Genete said are very good, I use that the most.
For absolute pro quality to send to a production studio for further post and distribution targas (also called TGA) are often prefered but at 8.00 megabytes for a single HD frame, that can be pretty hefty.
So Quicktime is often a great choice, as you can have a high quality original and (after rendering your QuickTime movie in AS) open it in QuickTime Pro and save for web with awesome compression to send by email or post to web, or phone formats.
