I have tried a few times but doesn't seem to appear on Second Life. I am using Flash MX 2004. Could it be possible to watch full motion video this way? I would figure it would be easier to edit plus would be cool to just add various things to it. Maybe if I used an older version of Flash would it work. I have seen some flash cartoons work and others not, so thats just kinda weird to me. Maybe the format it is saved under?

Nope, you need Quicktime installed to play movies. SL uses a Quicktime plugin to render video on a prim surface. Quicktime plays Flash, just not interactive ones.

Yes I have that. I already have Quicktime, but if I can run it through a flash file instead of a normal MPEG4, I can edit it and it is actually a smaller file. I am wondering why it won't play? I would have figured it would or should upload the same way as I can view it normally. Was wondering if anyone has done this.

I'm not in-world right now or I could tell you. Next time I'm in, I'll drop it on you and then you can compare formats. _____________________

Thanks... now by movies i mean full motion video, not cartoons. I am just wondering if I have to save them a certain way or what... they just appear grey to me. No idea why. They should work.

Quicktime only supports certain flash revisions. Probably not the latest one. Here's the QT dev site. It should have the infor you need to make it work.

Flash in SL

SL only supports Flash 5 and earlier. Non-interactive.

Okay thanks. Flash 5 does not support video embed. Trying to figure out a way around it though. Don't know.
