Hi :), how are you all of you

i am working on indesign document
i want to insert flv and mp3 file in it

in InDesign CS3:
when i drag mp3 or flv or insert Ctrl+D
this message appears in InDesign CS3:
Cannot place this file. No filter found for request opertaion

does this mean inDesign does not support mp3 files?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
in Acrobat Pro
it works fine, but there is problem setting the approprite width and height of the player.
is there any way to set the height and width of the plyer?
i found setting the width and height when you set the Playback Style to: Play content in floating window in the Edit Sound window.

also, when i found the appropriate width and height, i copy and paste the player so i can use it for another mp3 file, but there is no browse

any help
thanks in aadvance

Here is my workaround :

I open the FLV (or SWF) file directly from the Acrobat's File menu, this create a new PDF containing the FLV (or SWF) file at the good/real/original size (100%).

Then, I copy-paste the multimedia file in my final PDF…

No, same in CS4 :(

inserting the flash or sound as flv is great idea, the way you insert the flv is good idea, this new to me :)
but what if i want to insert mp3. mp3 is great in pdf
it has rich player good design :)

Thanks again

In Acrobat 9 you can import MP3 as same as FLV, SWF or H.264.
