Technically, you can't play an avi in flash. Doing the import function just converts it to an flv. What you may want to do is to convert the avi to an flv first, then import it. If you are using Flash CS3 and above, you should have Adobe Media Encoder. Use that to convert the file. That way, you have full control over the settings.

i dont' have cs3, i have flash 8, so i don't have the encoder, what else could i use to convert the file, theres no protection on it, it's from my camera, so, if you know any others that would be great thanks.
