before use in Shockwave 7?
Yes — if your audience includes Windows systems. Apple’s QuickTime media must be flattened to play on Windows — this is a QuickTime/Windows requirement, and not a Director-specific issue. Flattened QuickTime media can play on both Macintosh & Windows systems. Various applications can flatten QuickTime media, including Apple’s QuickTime 4 “MoviePlayer Pro” and “Final Cut Pro”, Macromedia’s “SoundEdit 16 v.2.07”, Adobe “Premiere 4 & 5” and so forth.
