Import & Export...Really messed Up !!!

Not sure what happened...

…but something’s gotten screwed up really bad w/ both my import AND export settings in Flash (running Flash MX Pro 2004). I was in the process of importing a .MOV movie (created in Sony Vegas Movie Studio (v8.0), to be exported as a .SWF (out of Flash…to be published to the web, in order to be displayed on our band's MySpace site).

I know my .MOV export out of Sony Vegas is OK, 'cause I can preview it in QuickTime; & it plays & looks great. But when I import it into Flash, I know something is wrong right away, 'cause the display window reads: "current selection cannot have actions applied to it". And when I hit the Play button...all that can be seen is a solid white screen...there's no content, no transitions...no nothing. If I go ahead & export as a .swf, all that get’s exported is a white screen…no movie.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks,

mark4man


BTW - The movie I'm working w/ is a dynamic photo montage, where I placed photographs of the band side by side by side; & then added transitions between the still images. The only reason I went back to redo the montage because it was too large in file size; which prohibits the loading of tables on our MySpace page, until the movie fully streams. I was looking for a way to decrease the file size coming out of Vegas; & then this happened. But...like I said...the .MOV out of Vegas plays & looks just fine.

Thanks,

MF

monaco is on a distinguished road
Sounds like Flash can't figure out how to decode the video data. Doesn't flash come with a straight to flash exporter? I know I can go from final cut pro straight to flv on my mac...

Final Cut Pro is amazing...
If you are going to use it.

Keep in mind it is quite expensive lol.
My brother goes to film school, so I have played around with it a bit. It is amazing imo.

OK...

Here's where I am w/ this...

Go to my band's myspace page:

http://www.myspace.com/projectonejams

& if the video isn't working...if what you're seeing is an all white space (about half way down the Bio section)...& it stays that way after the amount of time it would take a 5 MB file to load...(& you of course have Flash Player installed on yer machine)...

...then the .MOV conversion to .SWF has now been screwed up by TWO programs...Flash AND Swish Max.

I now have no idea what to do to solve this problem...I create a .MOV file out of Sony Vegas Movie Studio...which then plays fine in the Quick Time player...& now this. [One thing I did notice was...the .MOV file was approximately 90 MB in size. The .SWF created by Flash was about 45 MB; & the .SWF created by Swish Max was about 5 MB. Swish Max has an option to bounce an html file along w/ the .SWF...but that doesn't change the file size. Weird...such a difference in size.]

Oy Vey.
