Flash does not actually use the .avi file. It converts it to a Flash Video File (.flv). You then, need only upload your SWF file, HTML, file and FLV file.

I know this seems a bit odd, but Flash really wants to use its own format for the video. There is no direct support in Flash for .avi, .mpg, .mov files. Unless someone out there knows another way to do video in Flash without an external class?
