If you imported the video clip directly to the Stage in step 1, a warning appears if the imported clip contains more
frames than the span in which you are placing it in the current Flash document. Do one of the following:
•
To extend the span the required number of frames, click Yes.

To keep the span at its current size, click No. Frames in the imported clip that exceed the frames in the span do
not appear unless you subsequently add frames to the span.
