quicktime video can be imported straight into flash.

it’s somewhat limited (no tweening, no masking), but if all you want to do is have the video play, it’s easy like pie!

IMPORTED yes, but not EXPORTED as SWF!  
All you can do is put layers with content over the actual mov file in Flash, and then export as Quicktime again, and the flash content will be visible in the video (and be clickable i believe…).
