Quicktime in Flash

[onesummer]

So I got a quicktime movie clip. I want it to play in Flash. And, as soon as the clip is over, I want to fade in some text. that's it. simple as can be, but I've been out of it as far as my flash knowledge goes.

Yes, I'll be Googling to try to find my answer. Just I value people's expertise here more, that's why I'm asking the question here.

I got Flash v.8 to work with. thanks.

If I'm understanding right, this is what I would do...

I would add a movie clip on the last frame, on a separate layer above your embedded Quicktime movie.

Then, in that movie clip, add your text (as a symbol) and tween it, using the Alpha settings (in the Properties window, under the Color drop-down menu), to get the fade in effect.

How fast you want it to fade in will depend on your frame rate, and how many frames you use for the tween.

Does that help?

You should convert your quicktime file to FLV. You can then use actionscript to monitor when the video is completed, and call a movieclip to play.

Otherwise, import the quicktime movie into video editing software and add the text to the actual movie itself.

[onesummer]

do you have any some sample actionscript code on how to determine when the movie has ended?

thanks.

got it working thanks for the help.

Nice, what did you end up doing?

converted the quicktime mov to FLV usings flash's converter component. Then added it as an .FLV component to the main scene. then I found a little actionscript that added a listener to know when the movie file ends. you can see it here on a temp page:

i didn't do the video, but the super advanced text fade in/outs are mine ;)
