To replace an embedded video clip with another video clip:

1 In the Library panel, select the embedded video clip that you want to replace.

3 In the Embedded Video Properties dialog box, click Import.
4 In the Import dialog box, select a video clip to replace the embedded clip in the Library panel. Importing QuickTime video clips as linked files

If you are importing a QuickTime video clip, you can choose to link to the video from the Flash movie, rather than embed the video. A linked QuickTime movie imported into Flash does not become part of the Flash file. Instead, Flash maintains a pointer to the source file. If you link to a QuickTime video, you must publish the movie as a QuickTime movie. You cannot display a linked QuickTime movie in SWF format. The QuickTime movie contains a Flash track, but the linked video clip remains in QuickTime format. For more information on publishing your Flash file as a QuickTime movie, see “Choosing publish settings for QuickTime 4 movies” on page 381.

You can scale, rotate, and animate a linked QuickTime movie in Flash. However, you cannot tween linked QuickTime movie content in Flash.

To import a QuickTime video as a linked file:
1 Do one of the following:
• To link the video clip directly to the current Flash document, choose File > Import.
• To link the video clip to the library for the current Flash document, choose File >
Import to Library.
2 In the Import Video dialog box, select Link to External Video File. Previewing a linked QuickTime movie
When you import a linked QuickTime movie, only the first frame of the movie is displayed. You must add frames to the imported movie’s Timeline in order to view additional frames of the movie in Flash.
