Flash has been able to convert video AVI files to Flash SWF files since the release of Flash MX. However, Macromedia's most recent Flash release, Flash MX 2004, includes a new type of Flash file type called a Flash Video (the files have a .flv extension). FLV files allow more precision controls for synchronizing other media or animations with video, as well as enhanced control over streaming video content via the Internet.
Flash MX 2004 is the latest version of Macromedia Flash, the industry standard tool for creating effective rich content and applications.
