I don't know if there's a limit, but 2 mb sounds like an AWFUL lot for a
Flash movie. Normally, the file size doesn't count as much as the way you
stream it (one bit at a time, no huge chunks appearing form the first time
in the same frame etc.), but I would normally use no more then 200kb (500 at
the most, I'd imagine). It its, after all, the internet :)
The way I'd treat a flash presentation which requires QuickTime (or mpeg,
for that matter), is to put your QuickTime movie inside your flash folder,
and then use the "getURL" command on a frame or button script, pointing to
the QuickTime and set it to play in a new window. That will open the
viewer's default QuickTime (or mpeg, avi, etc.) viewer and play it in that,
while your Flash movie is remains active in the original window).
One advantage of that is that while the QuickTime is loading, the user
doesn't have to wait and twiddle his/her thumbs - you can design it in such
a way that they can browse through the rest of your flash project, while
waiting for it to load.
(Alternatively, you can embed it into an html page or even a .dcr, and point
to that in the getURL).
