Play .MOV inside .SWF

I've been trying to figure this out on my own, but decided just to come here and post my question.

One of my .SWFs is 95Mb, I have the animation in .MOV form and have been trying to play it inside the .SWF, but it would not play on Newgrounds, for example. I know you might have to make the .MOV play from a server to play on the web, but Im not sure how to go about doing that.

Im not a noob to Flash at all, Ive just never had to put my animation in .MOV form then back into a separate .SWF due to being such a large .SWF to begin with.

Im sure this is easily fixed, I guess I just dont feel like figuring it out on my own anymore.

Thanks.

Being New to flash as well.. my answer is not guaranteed... :)

But I'm working on a site where I have a video page (SWF) being loaded upon command, meaning when you hit the video button...
and inside that SWF page it loads an external video file..

I use actionscript for this...

1: first import a fla player to your project, and save the project so it saves the player's swf in your project folder..

2:Than, create a AS layer in your timeline, and open AS. and add these codes.

Actionscript Code:

stop();
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import fl.video.*;

var video:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
video.source = (here you put the the locations of you MOV file,
remember to have it located your project folder, if you put it in a folder like say VIDEO, remember to write video and the name of your file like this "video/myvideo.mov"; )

addChild(video);

video.x = ??? (the x - coordinates of where on the page you what the player)
video.y = ??? (the y - coordinates of where on the page you what the player)
video.width = ??? (size of the player)
video.height = ??? (size of the player)

video.skin = "SkinOverPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf"; (the swf file flash created when you saved)

delete the text inside plus the (......).

hope this helps

good Luck... :)

When you say: "first import a fla player to your project..." are you talking about the .mov file in the form of a .flv file?

Thanks

Nope...

In your library, Right Click (if you are on a PC) and choose (New Video)

You than have the option of choosing what skin the player should have.. like what buttons should it contain, like fast forward, play volume up/down and color etc.

I'm on cs5 now, and it has change a little since cs4 now is all AS controlled, But think I remember that in the earlier version you could just import it, place on the stage/timeline somewhere and and the link to your MOV file under the component inspector..

Thanks beat! This was actually helpful to me too for something i'm working on!
