hey all,  
first off, id like to say thanks to [pixelranger.com](http://pixelranger.com) for solving one of my preloader problems!!!  
my question is about importing video into flash…that is, what the best way to show a 30sec to 1 min movie clip??? the movie clip will most probably be in quicktime. Preferably id like the viewer to decide whether he/she wants to watch it or not so is there a way to embed the movie into flash, and create a player around it or should it just be link to open up an external quicktime/real media player sort of thing…  
thanks guys as usual, this place saves my life!!!

much love
