Hello all,
I kind of have a problem with importing a AVI movie into flash. I can import it, but when it’s done the movie doesn’t show itself.
Does anybody have an idea what the problem is. Because i can’t figure it out.
Thanks a lot already,
Lindia 🙂

It probably was not compressed correctly or it is corrupt, does it work on it’s own? not in flash? or …try importing another avi into flash as see if it works ok, if it does try to take your avi into Premeire or a video program like that and reexport it as cinepak or Microsoft. Hope it works for you JesseH

also are you importing it into Flash MX or Flash 5?
