My client just discovered that none of their customers have installed Player 7, nor can they be relied upon to do so. Hence, I must embed 25 flvs in swfs in order to present them in Player 6.
As I understood it, All I Needed To Do was
- create an empty fla per flv, the same aspect and frame rate as the flv
- choose >File>import>import to stage
and the flv would be embedded in the fla. A dialog box would come up saying, "the video needs XXX more frame to be added to the fla," or something like it. I'd agree. The deed would be done. Then, I'd insert a keyframe at the end with "stop();" in it, name the fla, save it, and that would be that. In fact, I'd swear I did just that, two or three times.
When I inserted the 'stop()' keyframe, the extension dialog box popped up. I clicked "No, thanks", for I am extremely polite in these situations. The dialog box went away, and I saved the fla and moved on.
Now, however, when I import the flv, I get no expansion of the fla, and no dialog box offering it.
I've looked up "flv" in Help, and that's what it says to do. I've looked up "Importing Video",too. It doesn't talk about flvs.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
