Along with a free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drwoohoo.com\/store\/AE2Flash-Transform\/AEKeyframes2XML_Transform.jsx.zip\">AE export script<\/a>, Drew has created <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drwoohoo.com\/store\/AE2Flash-Transform\/AE2Flash-Transform-Product.html\">After Effects 2 Flash-Transform Properties<\/a>, a Flash extension that smooths the importing of AE data.  You can read more about the tools on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inthemod.com\/bps\/?p=52\">his blog<\/a>.  (Note: My role in this is kindly overstated; in fact I just helped people smarter than myself get connected&#8211;which, for what it&#8217;s worth, is what a lot of product management boils down to.)<br \/>\nThis kind of integration is, I think, the start of much great progress to come.  Back in 1999, when I first heard that Adobe was thinking of making a Web animation tool, I started lobbying my contacts at Adobe &amp; Macromedia for a &#8220;Flash Interchange Format&#8221; that would enable Flash, AE, and other applications to exchange data with layers, keyframes, object names, and other data intact.  The timing wasn&#8217;t right, of course, but now that the companies have come together, the opportunities to collaborate are incredible.  Stay tuned, and in the meantime, give these tools a shot.<br \/>\n(More on Drew&#8217;s work can be found <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/jnack\/2006\/01\/in_the_mod_flickeur.html\">here<\/a>.)<br \/>\n<i>[Update: I realized I&#8217;d inverted the title.
