    When you place an asset inside of an InDesign document you are just linking to the asset on your drive, so when you deleted the file, InDesign couldn't play it anymore.

     

    You can embed assets inside your document if you want. You just need to right click them in the Links Panel, and select "Embed Link".

    Hiii...thanks for your answer. but when i need right click there is no option for embed link. and except this other option are present.

    I actually just tried this myself and realised I was wrong… you can't embed videos. You can embed other media, such as photos, but it looks like .flv files can't be embedded.

     

    I would just make sure to keep all of your video assets in the same folder as your InDesign document. Sorry for the confusion.
