using flash

    I'm trying to convert a video file to an SWF. I know there are converters, but I'd like to use flash and learn something in the process.

    Anyway, I'm using flash 8.

    I import the video file and it gives me 4 options:
    Progressive download from a web server
    Stream from Flash video Streaming service
    Stream from flash communication server
    Embed video in SWF and play in timeline

    The middle two are special servers I gather. So I tried the first and last one. The first one was easy to use but didn't create a full swf file, it created an swf file with and flv (the video) file. It would be really handy if I could convert this directly into an swf...

    The last one seemed like the right option. But I couldn't get the extra functionality like the other one. i.e. play, stop, volume, etc... So I added in a button for play and made the movie stop at the first frame. This worked only the audio and video synchronisation didn't work.

    It tells u in the in the options "WARNING: Embedded deployment is likely to cause audio synchonization issues. This option is ONLY recommed for short video clops with no audio track."

    So I'm stumpped... is there any way around it?
