calling external video

[ivanwright]

is it possible to load a video (quicktime, mpeg, etc) into an empty movie clip in flash or do you have to import the video into the library?

what i would want to do is call a video file, that would change or be overwritten on a regular basis, to play in an empty clip. i would want to be able to do this without having to REimport the video everytime.

possible?

anyone?

You can import an .flv file at runtime (the native flash video format) otherwise you will have to embed it in a .swf. You can only create .flv files in MX2004 pro.

1) i didn't know what the appropriate section to place it in was.

2) i didn't get any response from an earlier, singular post.

sorry if that's a party foul.
