video in flash

i want to know the best way of putting video into my flash
portfolio site. My videos are no longer than 4mins long. i want my
videos to be good quality to view at the lowest possible size in
mbs. im still running flash mx 2004 pro



im know flv is flash movie but can i only use this if i have
a new version of flash?



also what is the best video format to export from premier
into flash?



and can i have video controls like youtube using my version
of flash?



i cant afford to buy the new flash software yet! or if i
download the trial version would that make it alot easier and than
trying to use my older version?

You need to try it yourself. There is no ''BEST'' when comes to
video. Each format

is treated individually. Import to flash your video file with
varieties of settings.

See which one is best quality versus file size.

You can import multiple types of video formats, see under
File - Import dialog.

Tho FLV is the only one that can be dynamically loaded to
flash in run time.

And this would be your best bet to keep the file small.

premier into flash?



I normally use AVI or QT, no particualr reason for either
one.

Sure you can. Flash comes with components, ready made
controls for your FLV

files. In these components you can define the path to the
file and load it

off the server in run time. Playing as it cache. Import your
video and convert

it to FLV, you should have an option upon import to add
controls to it.

If not, look into components menu. There is something like
Media Playback or FLV

playback.

There are nice tech notes with detail info on how to work
video and components

at www.adobe.com/support/flash





%26gt; i cant afford to buy the new flash software yet! or if i
download the trial

%26gt; version would that make it alot easier and than trying

Well, I believe the components are nicer, can't remember what
was the one that

came with MX 2004 but certainly Flash 8 PRO was an improved
one :)

You can download demo, do whatever you need, export and done.
Files made with demo

won't expire and considering Flash CS3 is due very soon, no
point upgrading to

Flash 8 Pro right now.

Not within flash, the only file that flash can load (video
file) is FLV.



You can open AVI or WMV with windows player tho or use 3rd
party tools like:
