Hi People. From the look of things, it seems that Flash is able to support quite a number of video formats. Is that true? I checked the file\>import section and it seems to be able to support quite a lot of video formats. Can someone verify this? ---

Well since it can import all of these I guess you can use them =) However flash probably converts them to quicktime or something alike in the end… ---

Yeah it’s true. MX can do what many people wished flash 5 could do (I was one of 'em). MX deals with quite a variety of video files. [www.macromedia.com](http://www.macromedia.com). There should be a list of the file formats that flash interacts with there. ---
