Don't put a black Flash movie in the Director timeline! Actually paste
it into the start of the QuickTime video using the "paste" or "add"
command in QuickTime Player Pro. You'll need to compress the video
beforehand, either with Cleaner or by exporting from QuickTime Player
using the Sorenson codec. For a 56k connection, you could try exporting
at a quality of maybe 10, at 3 - 4 fps, and a data rate limit of 4
Kbytes/sec, at a dimension of 160 by 120 (which you could later, after
export, resize and save at a larger size to put in your Shockwave
movie). Open the resulting QuickTime movie in QuickTime Player and
choose "movie info", then go through the options to find the overall
data rate for the QuickTime movie. If its greater than 4 - 5 Kbytes/sec,
then chances are that the video will not 'stream' inside a Shockwave
movie, or even be jumpstarted into playing with Lingo, until several
seconds (or minutes) of the video have downloaded.
