File > Import > Import Video

Select path and hit Next

Check Embed video in SWF and play in timeline and hit Next

Symbol type: Embedded video

Audio track: Separate

Check Place instance on stage and Expand timeline if needed

Select Embed the entire video and hit Next

Select your quality and hit Next

Select Finish and Flash will begin importing the video



You will probably experience some audio/video lag. To prevent this, I would use the "silence track" trick. This involves getting a silent mp3, streaming it throughout the entire timeline, and setting the video audio to "Event". This will force Flash to play the audio in sync with the video. If sync is not important, then you're pretty much set to go.

I've tried this multiple times in the past. Do avi's not work in flash?

they should, but i would recommend quicktime or mp4. it also depends on the codec of the video

i remember when i did this with my 2d animations
Oh, wretched ephemeral race ... why do you compel me to tell you what it would be most expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is—to die soon.
