I inherited a project with all its assets in .fla files. I'm doing fine with
the audio, graphics, and movie clips--basically publishing the .fla and
using the .swf as a library.

I'm not quite sure how to play a video that's embedded in the swf. I don't
see a way of exporting it to for use in ActionScript, like I'm doing with
most of my other assets.

Properties tells me it's embedded (synchronized with timeline), but there is
also an option to make it an ActionScript-controlled video. I'm not familiar
enough with flv in Flex to know how to utilize that.

The source .fla does have the video embedded in a Movie Clip. I suppose I
could just export the MC, and play the MC. I feel like learning something
new tonight, though.

Is there a way of playing the embedded flv? It's just playback, by the
way--no user controls except a button to click to play it.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
