ok I’ma newbie to importing .mov files into flash… I can get it to import it into flash and exporting it as a .swf. The prob is that the audio doesnt work :-\ … So i took the file in quiktime pro 5.2 and republished it and now flash does not recognize the file as a .mov?

the error im getting is
“Flash doesn’t recognize the file format of ‘filename.mov’. Would you like to try to import via Quiktime?”
i say yes then i get this error
“One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them.”
