What I want to do is play my avi file on the web in a good size window frame... do you have any suggestions and how?
Get MX in which you can embed videos... Or use a getURL to link to your .avi. It should open in the user's default player...

What I understand and please correct me if I am wrong, with FLASH MX I can embed my own videos into FLASH MX, such as my avi files? Is that correct? When I am in MX how do I embed them is there a Import command?

Thanks.. I tried it and it is absolutely amazing!!! I have a few questions that maybe you can answer:
1) Is there a way to change the dimensions of the video AVI file without effecting the quality of the video clip?
2) How can I add text at the bottom of the video clip?
3) The video clip is in a loop, keeps playing and playing is there a way to stop the clip?
4) Is there a way to have the video clip only start when the user clicks on it?
Abolsutley amazing thats all i can say... hehehehe

1- If you're scaling it down, whem importing, there shouldn't be any problem quality wise, although conditioned by you're Quality setting upon import. If you're scaling it up, well then that's another story...
2- You can easily add another layer over the video layer and add whatever textfields, positioned where you want them to be.
3- You can add an actions only layer, and add a keyframe at the end of the video with a stop(); action on it. That will keep it from looping.
4- Rather than importing the video on the main timeline, import it in a movie clip, which you can easily control with buttons to start it up, pause it, fast forward it or whatever else.

OLDNEWBIE,
When you are good, you are good! LOL
To view the video in the html page, do you require FLASH player or is this embedded in the html page? The reason I ask is users do not have Internet access rather only INTRANET access.
Can you tell me step by step how to have the first layer black with writing saying Click here to begin and then when the user clicks it the movie starts. Then the movie stops, text appears saying Next step, then when you click on it another movie starts in place of the other is this hard to do? If this too much to ask please send me a good tutorial I can refer to how to do this...
