Re: FLASH: Video in Flash

[Michael Penney]

Wrong tool for the job. To create a presentation mixing video, flash,

interactivity, installer, notepad, etc. you want Director.


You can also create a QT movie as has been suggested, set up your flash

presentation with the video in flash and export as QT. Be prepared to do

some testing/futzing with compression, etc. to get the alpha channels

working right.
