### Using a Flash movie in a Director movie

Once you have added a Flash movie to the Director cast, using it in your movie is as simple as dragging it to the stage and positioning it where you want it. You can then use the Flash movie sprite in much the same way you use other sprites

When working with a Flash movie on the stage, keep these points in mind:

| A Flash movie's animation plays only for as long as the Flash movie's sprite is actually on the stage. (Flash movies resemble digital video and sound sprites in this regard.)
| Because a Flash movie is a vector format, you can stretch the movie's sprite without loss of the movie's clarity.
| If the movie is set up to play Direct To Stage, the movie will always appear on top of other sprites, regardless of the channel in which it is placed. Ink effects also will have no effect.
| Only the Copy and Background Transparent ink effects work with Flash movies.
| Avoid using Flash movie sprites in film loops.
