With loadmovie, you can only load swf’s and jpg’s. You could place your avi into an swf, and the use loadmovie to load it.

I don’t think you can do it. You’d have to create a movie clip object and import the avi/mpg file. But as said above, you could always place this object into a separate movie so you can load it when you need it.
