Re: FLASH: Importing .mov file question

[Tai]

hi Judy,


when you put the movie into your timeline, put as many frames as there

are in the movie after it...


then you should be able to move along the timeline in authoring mode and

see the video changing...


as far as it not recognising the filetype... you'll have to convert it

into something that it recognises...


if you want to play it inside a flash movie you'll need to convert all

the frames to images, there are different techniques to do this, though

the one that I use is to put the movie in and then export it as a bitmap

sequence then import this sequence into flash... then drop as many

frames as you can...


I wouldn't recommend using trace bitmap... it kinda sucks


cheers

Tai :)
