[swfmill] embedding video and accessing it as a class

[Will]

update: I tried
<video id="somevid" import="flv">
<clip id="vidmc">
<frame>
<place id="somevid" depth="1">
</frame>
</clip>

no more errors - but when I create an instance of vidmc I just get a 
blank empty mc. Found one thread from 2005 that says swfmill cant add 
flvs.  Is there anyway to embed a flv?
