Configuring a Video object
A Video object is an object that contains a movie. To configure a Video object:

selected.

To indicate which movie to play, choose an option from the Video drop down menu:
• To import an AVI or MOV file, choose Others.
• To use a movie that is already used elsewhere in the active project, choose that file's name.
• To insert a path that refers to an FLV file at runtime (even if that file is not currently
available), choose External.
You can link only to FLV files for Video objects if you choose External. To link to an
external SWF file, configure the Object Type as SWF.

If you choose External from the Video drop-down menu, the External File Reference
dialog box displays.
The External File Reference dialog box enables you to specify the path to a file.

specify the path to that file in the Path field. You can either enter the path or click and
locate the file.
• To use a file on the Internet, choose URL from the Type menu and then enter the URL of
the file in the URL field.
