Flash CS3 importing a .wmv file

[supamags]

HI,

Im working on Flash CS3 and all I have a .wmv file supplied by the client. All I want to do is import or embed the video and click on it to play, however I dont seem to be able to import it? Can anyone explain why this may be? Does it have to be a quicktime movie??

Thanks
Bruce

Flash doesn't directly support WMV's, use the Flash Video converter supplied with Flash to convert it into an FLV file.

The following video file formats are supported for importing embedded video if QuickTime 7 is installed:

File type
Extension

Audio Video Interleaved
.avi

Digital video
.dv

Motion Picture Experts Group
.mpg, .mpeg

QuickTime video
.mov

Thanks guys however, my file is currently a .wmv file that runs on a PC OK but my Mac doesnt recognise it as anything and therefore I cant drag and drop it in to the FLash Video convertor software... any advice?!

Cheers
Bruce.
