im trying to play a .mov on my flash website.

Then i found out I need the .mov to be in .swf so i can add in some action script.

I tried importing .mov to flash and the .swf became a whopping 16mb size (the .mov is only 6mb)

I tried sorenson squeeze and manage to drag down the .mov -\> .swf to around 6mb but the quality sucks \*\*\* ☹

Can anyone show me some pointers the best method to make .mov -\> .swf without losing much quality and keeping a decent file size?

Warm regards
