I haven't used flash in a while, but I think you can just import it into flash can't you?

Why exactly do you want to have it in flash again ??

<b>You can emb<b>ed it in media player basically the same way

Well, I read that when converting a small piece to flash the file size is smaller. It's just gonna be a few seconds of video without sound. The original file is a .wmv file and I'm not sure if Macintosh users can read that format when hahahahahaded.

I found some import function in Flash, thanks. I never use the program so excuse my stupidity.

Yep dude, just 'import to library' then drag from the library window into the doc.

Only one way to find out

If you want i can edit the wmv file for you and take out the sound or just make it smaller.

Or heres the code to run it in a window, just make a test page and ask some gfy users to test it and see if it works on mac.

<textarea rows=20 cols=120><0BJECT id=MediaPlayer1
codèBase=http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701
type=application/x-oleobject height=290
standby="Loading Microsoft® Windows® Media Player components..."
width=300 classid=CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95>
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="1.wmv">
<PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="ShowStatusBar" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="loop" VALUE="true">
<èmbed type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"
SRC="1.wmv" width="320" height="240"
autostart="1" showcontrols="1" statusbar="1" sound="0"></èmbed>
</textarea>

i had to edit it a bit to make it show up..

Thanks for your help. I've figured out the Flash part now, although I'm still struggling cutting frames out of the movie with flash (how stupid is that?). I'll make a test page and post a thread later on. Again thanks.
