flash (macromedia): I'm a newbie with an advanced question... I think. I imported a .flv file
(about 5min) into frame 1 of layer 1. After the video ends, I want to add some
closing effects (some gradients with text that pops up and says thanks for your
time). Is there a way to do this in a nutshell? If this requires advanced
actionscript or something harder, please say so and I'll have to source this
out to someone. Thanks!

Well,
It's not that tough. It depends on what you mean by "advanced" actionscript.
You can create a movie clip with your closing effects, and then load it when
the video finishes. You would need: A listener to detect the end of the video,
a movie clip to load, and code to load it. I am not sure how well you know
flash, but poke around with those things and see what you can do.
