To link or embed, common question.
This is the little popup you are greeted with when you attempt to import a video file to Flash. But which one to choose?
Embed You choose embed when you want to create a Flash encoded video from your source that can be exported as a Flash MX movie.
Linked You choose the linked option for movies that will be exported or published back to their source format with a Flash layer included. For example, a QuickTime movie (.mov) source exported as a QuickTime movie (.mov) that includes a Flash layer.
On the same note, you must publish as Flash 5 for QT 6 and Flash 4 for QT 5. There is no support for Flash 6 content or scripting in QT.
If you want to create Flash video, choose embed.
