FLASH: Re: Flash 5 & QT

[Dr. James K. Butler]

That may be true, but the QuickTime Player & Plug-in can play Flash. So it seems

reasonable, that you should be able to embed a QT movie into a Flash file,

export it as a SWF file (along with all of the benefits of being a SWF) and then

use the QuickTime plug-in to play the SWF file in a browser.


In the alternative, since Apple recently worked an agreement with Real to allow

the Real Player to play QT, it would seem beneficial to BOTH Macromedia & Apple

(and their respective formats) for them to work out a similar deal. Since a

unilateral deal is already in place (i.e. QT plays SWF), it wouldn't take too

much negotiation to have a reverse deal worked out.


Replies?

You will still export to QuickTime format; the Flash players do not have

the ability to play back QuickTime movies.
