Hi,

I’m trying to embed an FLV into a .SWF file including player controls. Using the import tool only places instances of these files on the stage, while still referencing the files externally. I need 1 SWF that has the FLV and the playback controls so I don’t have to reference any outside files. How can I do this?  
thanks,  
OML
