I have created a 3 mintue movie in FLASH and exported it as a .SWF.  
What I want to do next is import it as a video in order to use the Video Player controls Flash has to offer.

Export Movie doesnt give choice to export .flv  
Adobe Media Encoder doesnt like .swf  
I cannot find anyway of saving my flash document as a .FLV

Please help or instruct on what I should do.
