Importing and Playing back Videos in Animate

I'm a recent convert from Adobe Director to Animate.  I'm used to being able to import video content into my projects and interactively playback that content along with my animated layers, etc. in Director.

So far I'm struggling with getting video content into my projects and getting it to play using AS3.  Note:  I am transcoding my videos as Mpeg4 and I've found the AS3 commands to play videos.  When I test my projects, the video just starts playing and doesn't wait for the EventListener to cue the playback. 

Anyone out there have some suggestions on workflow for incorporating Video into Animate Projects?

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend!

click file>import>import video and embed the video in a timeline or use an flvplayback component.  both allow the as3 project to start without having the video start.

Thanks for your reply... sorry for the lag in response.

So it seems that FLV as a format is no longer supported by Adobe and you can't export your QT's as FLV's any longer. 

The import option for "embed" notes that you cannot export your video in your project... that it's for "design only".  So neither of these solutions seem to be workable unfortunately. 

Any other ways to get .mov's in and published in your finished product?

Thanks!

Yes, I understand that Animate will allow you to Import an FLV if you have one BUT Adobe Media Encoder no longer supports creating .FLV's. 

Do you know of a good application that transcodes media to .FLV?


your initial message is misleading but you can use an older version of ame.
