I am trying to find out if it’s possible to reference a Quicktime movie file externally by a SWF file, the same way a MP3 document can be excecuted and referenced externally.

None of the documentation I’ve read explicitly says no. (Most of the documents point out that you can import a quicktime, and export a quicktime, but nothing more).

Has anyone else found this information?

Thanks.
