Does anyone know wether of not it's possible to put flash in your game intros for Torque? Thought it would be a cool idea...
or even a movie file... if anyone wants to try to it would be nice.

There is a resource here on putting AVI support into your Win32 Toruqe based game. That resoruce does not cover how to make that work for Mac or Linux.

Flash would be *very* cool because the file sizes are so small and the file sizes for even short and low rez video are so large.

Flash can export its movies too AVI which could then in turn be used in Torque.

Someone really ought to play around with the GuiObjectViewControl's for making movies. As a thought experiment, imagine that you had a large scene in 3dsmax and a very small "bounding" box that represented the camera. If you moved the bounding box through the scene in an animation and then played it on a GuiObjectViewControl, it would effectively be a fly through of the scene. Add some actors moving around your scene and you got a movie. Not sure about file sizes or performance or how you'd handle camera cuts and fov changes, but worth playing with.
