Hi,
I am trying to intergrate a videofile (about 2 minutes) into a flash file
(fla.) but the problem is that if I'm going to export the fla. to a sfw. it
becomes to big. (It's for a website so it must be 5 or 6 MB at maximum.)

Greets,
Martin

Hi! You can do few steps: 0. Insrtall Flash Video Exporter. 1.
Export your video file as *.mov (in Adobe After Effect for example, or directly
to *.flv - then skip next step) 2. Open your *.mov file in Quick Time
Player, Select File-Export. Then 'Export' as 'Movie to Macromedia Flash Video'.
Change Options as you want. 3. Import *.flv directly to *.fla. Or you may
play *.flv directly from *.swf, in this case you need to use Media PlayBack
Component or write you own ActionScript. FLV is the best solution for you:
1. FPS can be more or less then your clip. 2. You can select the
quality for your file ( Export options) 3. You can play *.flv directly w/o
inport to *.fla. 4. You able to use Streaming playing (need Flash Comm, or
Flash Streaming services). 5. Best solution for Flash. good luck :),

Hi, I was having the same problem too, so cheers Flaham! Another question:
Does anyone know if it's possible to control an embedded video's sound? I have
the play, stop, rewind buttons but I also need an option to run the vid without
sound. I doubt you're able to separate the sound if it's imported in the one
file? If someone can help me out that would be great!

If you use the MediaDisplay or the MediaPlayback then use something like this
myGreatMovieInFlash.volume = 0
to mute the sound.

Hi!

If you play external *.flv you can control volume of sound by:
var snd = new Sound(_root);
snd.setVolume(x); //where x from 0 to 100

or if you use embeded video:
var snd = new Sound( movie_clip_where_video );
snd.setVolume(x); //where x from 0 to 100

good luck :),

Also - is there a way to link to a quicktime movie?

For example - i have my SWF and it has a video inside of it. However, that
video, isn't embeded into the swf. Therefore I could just change that quicktime
movie andnot have to worry about working with the flash file.

You can conver *.mov from QuickTime player to *.flv and play it as external
file.

Good luck,
