In fact with QuickTime 7.3.1. The 'Enable Flash' setting is both disabled and no longer available in 7.3.1.

I first did a .mov, asked for a filter, then a different .mov with different settings, same prob, then I converted the .mov to a .wmv nogo, then I converted the .mov to a .avi and it crashed ID. Turned on enable flash in prefs, was able to drag only the .avi without crashing, installing 4.0.4 update now, I'll let you know where this road leads.... opening ID with update.....muahahahahaha works like a charm, thanks again.

I cannot see any hope except to only use .mov and .avi for anything happening in InDesign.

I just updated to 4.0.4 on my G4, and am still able to preview and place the swf files in InDesign, but I cannot on my MacBook Pro. I think there are two issues here. One is the QT "Enable Flash" preference which is off by default in QT 7.1.3, and the other is a QT-related problem with InDesign running under Rosetta emulation.

As I reported on the U2U fourm thread that Sandee started, I had exactly the same error using ID 4.0.4, QT 7.1.3, and OX 10.4.8 on my MacBook Pro. I tried the suggestion posted by Martin Sammtleben to turn on "Enable Flash" in the QT preference pane's Advanced tab, and that did not help, even after re-booting. Next, I tried on my PowerBook G4 with ID 4.0.2, QT 7.1.3, and OS 10.4.7, and I also got the error. However, when I turned on "Enable Flash" in the QT prefernce pane, and restarted InDesign, I WAS able to place the same swf files. I then updated my G4 to 10.4.8, and the file still place. I'll try updating InDesign on the G4 to 4.0.4 next, but may not get to that till later today... I cannot explain what I’ve found, but here’s a bit more data, anyway.

I'm not too sure the adobe technote specifically addresses my problem as they do not talk about the "malformed URL" alert. However, the comment that this may not affect all users makes me feel MUCH better. Thanks Rufus for the confirmation that I am not a complete alarmist.

There is a TechNote here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_18889 and here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304341 I have done some tests, and, as a matter of fact there are problems with Flash and InDesign. From what I understand, the version of Flash shipped with QuickTime is "older" than the versions available in Adobe products, hence the clash. I have tried re-enabling the flash track in QT but this has no effect in Flash in ID docs. Re-enabling allows me to see iTunes interactive booklets though ;-) Thank you for the warning, Sandee.
