Open a new Director movie.

Select import from the file menu. Find your Flash movie and import it.

Open the cast window. You should see your Flash movie in the cast.
Select it.

Open the Property Inspector window. If the "Flash" tab is not selected,
select it. You will see a list of properties that you can set for your
Flash movie. Image, audio and loop will be checked by default. Use the
question mark button on the property inspector to find out about each of
these properties.

Go back to the cast window. Drag the Flash movie from the cast to the
stage. This will create an instance of the Flash movie as a sprite.

In the score window, go to the frame script space at the top of the
window, just above the row of frame numbers. Select a frame above your
Flash movie. Double click on this space to open a frame script window.
You should see "on exitFrame me", a blank line and "end" in the window.

In the blank line type "go to the frame". This will hold the playback
head in that frame.

Play the movie.

Interactive for the predator movie

I made a bio section for the charactes and when you click on the character i
wanted it to play the swf and when its finished playing go back to the bio

Just a newb myself but...

You need to give your swf a sprite name, you can do this in the property
inspector. Then you can use that name in your lingo script to refer to the
sprite and make it play on mouse up or whatever. Something like:

-- script placed on character--
on mouseUp me
sprite("swf sprite name").play()
end mouseUp

Then I suppose you'd have to make sure the swf has a some kind of buffer frame
(a blank frame with a stop) as its first frame so it doesn't show when its on
the timeline until its playing, and when its finished playing it can return
back to that first buffer frame and stop there again, making it invisible
again. Hope that helps.
