Hey guys... I'm trying to make a new site (Green DNA) and wanted to use a combination of flash and html

At the top, I wanted to have the navigation bar as flash, and below the html content (like for example a blog).

I wanted to create some cool animations using After Effects, and import them into flash. I was planing to use around 250-300 frames of animation total (800x270 pixels) and keep it the whole .SWF file below 2MB (1.6-1.7 would be great!)

My first attempt was to export the video from AE as a .SWF but the result was a 10 MB file

Then, I tried to export as a PNG or jpg animation sequence... I was able to reduced each frame to about 27.0kb but the result was around 6mb file

Then, I tried saving the animation as a .mp4 file (around 2mb) but I couldn't figure out how to imported on flash (I was using adobe bridge, but It kept changing my 800x270 pixel video into something that I didn't approved ( I tried multiple settings)

here is a test video of what I want (the final version was going to have a lot more going on, while using about the same amount of frames)

I'm willing to reconsider my idea and create the whole thing in flash.

1- What command could I use to create the same effect than in AE as wiggle (random movement of a image across x,y)
2- Let say I make a plane/image move from left to right using Motion tween (could I make another plane/image move the same direction but at 1/2 the speed? (to create the sensation of dept of field)


3- How could I make so the buttons of my flash animation change the the html content of my site (without opening a new page and loading the flash file again) here is a quick photoshop example of what I want:

thanks guys!
