[FONT=Arial]I’m pretty new to working with external .flvs and I’m being requested to add buttons with “getURL” to the movie (like you’d see on [youtube.com](http://youtube.com)).

How do I go about this? Would I import the .mov into Flash, add the actions, export the whole thing as a .mov, then dump it back into the Video Encoder to convert it to a .flv?

My limited experience with .flvs was using Sorenson Squeeze to convert .movs to .flvs. I’ve never added actions, buttons, etc. to a .flv.

Thanks,
