Is it possible to add an .fla file as splash screen in iOS development? If not what are the other formats of animated files does a splash screen accept? Does it accept animated gifs? or .swf files? or do i have to write the animation frame by frame.

If so what is the procedure? Do i have to add it the same way i add an image just have the extension differ?

I have an .fla file that i would like to add to my code. Unfortunately i couldn't find any material on whether this is feasible or not.

Seems like people here doesn't know the difference between splash screen and launch image. Launch images are static, you configure them with xcode and you can't change them.

But in a splash screen you can do whatever you like, it's just a viewController where you show an animation, a video, or any other thing. You show the splass screen after the launch image and before your "landing page". Then, in a splash screen you can create an animation frame by frame, or load a .mp4 video in a MPMoviePlayerController as Krumelur said.

People using animated splash screens, usually use a launch image with the color of the splash screen (color of the first animation frame or the color of the video), so it seems that the launch image is part of the splass screen.
