Hello ladys and gents.

Could somebody explain to me how to import a .mov file into flash 4 and have it run correctly.

I know it must be possible because there is an import option for the (.mov) file but it simply doesnt run correctly and instead is a still image rather than a number of images running in frames.

Im quite new to flash however I can do animations this problem is really getting me down.


Thanks very much
Noel Craig
 
From the Flash 4 Help file:

Using QuickTime movies
When you import a QuickTime movie into Flash, the movie file does not become part of the Flash file. Instead, Flash maintains a pointer to the source file. You can scale, rotate, and animate a QuickTime movie in Flash. You can play and set the path of the movie in the Library.

When you import a QuickTime movie, only the first frame of the movie is displayed. For more information on publishing your Flash file as a QuickTime movie, see QuickTime publish settings.

To play a QuickTime movie:

1 Add the number of frames on the Timeline that correspond to the length of the QuickTime movie you want to play.
2 Choose Control > Play.



To set the path of a QuickTime movie:

1 Choose Window > Library and select the QuickTime movie you want to edit.
2 On the Options menu, choose Properties and click Set Path in the Video Properties dialog box.
3 Enter the new location of the QuickTime movie.

webmantis:

I asked this to someone before but never got a reply, maybe you can. Does Wildform do as Vid2Flash, whereby in converting the AVI to SWF it skips every second or third frame just to make sure that the SWF has the same filesize as the AVI? ie: jumpy.
