Importing video

You can import video clips into Flash. Depending on the video format and the import method you choose, you can publish the movie with video as a Flash movie (SWF file) or a QuickTime movie (MOV file).

If you have QuickTime 4 or later (Windows or Macintosh) or DirectX 7 or later (Windows only) installed on your system, you can import video clips in a variety of file formats, including MOV (QuickTime movie), AVI (Audio Video Interleaved file), and MPG/MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group file). For information on supported file formats, see Video import file formats.

You can import video clips as embedded files or linked files. See Importing video clips as embedded files and Importing QuickTime video clips as linked files.

You can apply the following actions to imported video objects in movie clips: `goTo`, `play`, `stop`, `toggleHighQuality`, `stopAllSounds`, `getURL,` `FScommand`, `loadMovie`, `unloadMovie`, `ifFrameLoaded`, and `onMouseEvent`. To apply actions to a video object, you must first convert the video object to a movie clip. For information on using ActionScript, see Understanding the ActionScript Language.
