I’m pretty new to FLASH.

I have created several swf, several are videos. I want to insert them into an fla and have them play automatically then loop.

I tried just moving the swf from my library to the work area, but the swf aren’t playing correctly.

Please help

Thanks much  
Amy

It is showing how to import swf in 3 ways. The language is greek but you can use google translate to translate the post to english. Also there are a lot of screenshots.
