.flv to .swf?
 

is this possible? any free apps would be greatly appreciated!

I'd like to know as well :)

My site host doesn't allow .mov files, but it does allow .swf files. I can convert .mov to .flv using QT Pro, but now I need .flv to .swf.

Thanks

does anyone even know how to play flv files?

Have a look here:

same here, thanks for the link bluehz, i'll check it in a while.

Sorry for bringing such an old thread back, but I recently discovered a pretty obvious solution for converting QuickTime files to Flash files. I know there are numerous threads similar to this one out there, and since none of them have really been answered... I shall come to the rescue! :rolleyes:

The answer is Adobe ImageReady. I use the CS version, so I don't know if this will work with earlier versions. I simply dragged a QuickTime .mov file on top of the ImageReady icon in my dock; it opened up, and then gave me the option to import it from beginning to end or a selection. When you select, each frame will be displayed under the "Animation" tab, as well as layers in the "Layers" tab.

I didn't mess with anythig, and just went to File>Export>Macromedia Flash SWF. It'll give you some options, but I just hit OK, and there I had it!

Notes: I did this with a small 7 second clip, so I don't know how stable it is with large videos.

There won't be any sound unfortunately.

I haven't tried it with aything but .mov files, so if something like .mpg doesn't work, you can always convert it to .mov. (I use QT Pro)

there's a free online converting service on vidflash.com, try to use it
