    Ok guys, so i am getting closer. While waiting for your comments i kept reading info about it, and this is so far what i got:

    1. I can import the all mov. into a flash, which will appear as frames on the main timeline (called embeding) and use action scripting in a normal way. Then import this swf file as an external file on my main swf, and the action script will work, as gpop did on his site petranemcove (nice girllllll).

    The downside of this approach, is that they recommend to embed only when the movie is under 5 sec, because if not your swf has to wait to download all the frames to start playing.

    2. Import the mov using the component that come with Flash MX Professional, as an external flv (this is called Progressive). This would be my first choice, either importing it on my main swf or an external swf that will load on my main one. The problem with this is that I can not find a way to comunicate to may main swf file that my movie has stoped playing or any other event for that matter.

    So, any more suggestions?

    Thanks
