    External mpg file not working

    I am trying to call in an external mpg file into an empty MC. Does Flash (MX 2004) support this? Here is my button code:

    on (release) {
    }
    loadMovie ("TimelineClip.mpg", "_root.empty");
    }

    Not sure how to do this. thanks, Laurel

    Flash supports only FLV format for dynamic video loading, you can also use AVI and embed it inside your SWF.

    Does an avi have to be embedded? How about other formats such as mov?
    To call in an external movie does it have to be a swf file?

    Dynamically you can load only FLV. All other formats need to be encoded either via 3rd party software like for ex. Sorenson Squeeze, or imported (embeded) directly into flash. Basically Flash use basic Sorenson codec to import movies into stage.
