Hi Guys, I put this post on the macromedia forum and got a few replies. Basically people said it could not be done. I am using flash to make my webpage. Is it possible to have a quicktime movie load in the flash page? The swf webpge will only be 40k, so it will be really quick to dl. If I put the QT movie in it, the file size will be 12MB and will take a long time to dl. So I want to the movie to be linked in the flash movie? Does that make sense? Thanks again guys!

I’ve never tried importing a QT into MX, but I did come a cross a site that might help, take a look. [http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~wolff/tlc311f02/flash/linked\_files.html](http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~wolff/tlc311f02/flash/linked_files.html) ---
