RE: FLASH: hello from new member; prob importing files

[Merrill, Bob]

Hi James,

You cannot "drop" a QT movie into Flash. You'll see that when you export it

you have no movie. There are other ways to get a QT movie to play in Flash.

One method is to Export your QT movie as a series of frames. Then import

these into Flash. I came in a little late on this thread so if that's not

what you are asking, sorry.
