Hi guys, I have few questions for you...

1) Can you please tell me -- is it possible to load external video files (for simplicity, let's say QuickTime *.mov files) into Flash MX (6th version only) dynamically? I mean, similar to what we can do with loadMovie() functionality? I.e. implementing the following scenario -- my main (container) swf file is always running and picking new *.mov files once they arrive into the directory? I realize the logic (i.e. AS code), I just don't know how can I import (or link) video files dynamically since they are not swf/jpeg files.

2) Do you know any (open source?) software for Linux that can convert different video files formats into whatever format is acceptable in flash so I can make (1) work with other formats (if (1) is possible, of course)?

Thanks in advance for any help / hints...
