I have a bunch of Quicktime and Windows Media files that will be used for a CD presentation. I have not come across a way to call these media externally. The Flash book says that I have to embed the video into Flash or linked it. The problem with embedding is that I have to do an extra step of converting each quicktime and windows media file into SWF. Also, I didn't like the embedded video running at 12fps.

What I hope to do is to let Flash call the video just like the way a internet browser plays a video made in Quicktime or Windows Media Player.

This seems to be a simple problem but I can't believe that Flash can't do it or maybe I'm just ignorant.

Can somebody help or recommend a plug-in extension that will allow me to do the above.

Thanks
