Hi all,

I need to embed a video file in flash, how do I go about doing this?

What is the best method (keeping file size in mind)?

I have 3 video formats that need to be embedded in flash. They are real player, window media player and quicktime. Do I need to embed all three or can I get away with embedding only one? Reason for all three is to make sure that someone will be able to view it without having to download the player. I imagine, a user will have one of the three already installed on his/her machine.

Please all help on this matter is great appreciated.

Thanks.

Cheerio,

Chi.
