I am would like to insert a video clip into Flash, however my video file is an mpeg4. I did import the .mov file, but flash output file is a little over 5MB. Obviously, this is way to big for a Flash intro. First, what file format should I be importing into Flash MX? Second, what would be a sufficient file size for an intro (broadband), is 2.5MB too large? I did look over topics in the forum, but nothing comparable to my questions. Plus, I new to placing video in Flash, so any advice or help is more than welcome. Thanks all.
