i am currently building an interactive cd with flash content and 2 five-minute videos that play at points in the flash content.

what is the most effective way to play these long video files (note...each video file is a cg animation and it is rendered in targa frames and can be exported as any video or swf extension in after effects)

my first guess is to save the video files as swfs and plop them on to the cd with the exported exe projector. but what is the code to load an external movie...and can i have control of the video (play pause rew ff??)

note... i am a beginner, and the in-depth explanation of this process would be more valuable to me than a quick answer.

thanks again all!
