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
