All the other file formats such as gif, png, avi, mpg need to be imported into a swf by the flash authoring app - or some other app. http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/animation_import.htm gives a list of all supported formats. Gif 2 swf is a converter that I have used which is simple and works http://www.gfx2swf.com/gif2swf/ This has been a fairly frequent request from flash developers for the last couple of versions of flash - and I'd love to have the skill to develop a library to support dynamic import of some of the basics - i.e. gif. There may be some server side options available - like dynamically creating the swf from a gif using something like PHP (ming) but I haven't tried it yet.
