I just got a new idea for how I might convert the avi to a flash file. I could 
turn the avi into a
file with mjpeg encoding and then use the mjpeg tools to convert it into a 
sequence of jpeg files,
i.e one jpeg file per frame. Then I could convert each jpeg into a flash file 
using jpeg2swf.

So I guess my question is: Given a set of of jpeg files converted to 
corresponding swf files, one
file per frame, how would I combine all these into a single swf file, which if 
played with
gflashplayer etc, will give me one flash movie ?
I'm not sure what the difference is between the merge and stack options for 
swfcombine.

Thanks
