Help embedding swf in Dreamweaver in CS4?
July 28th, 2011
A colleague sent me a wmv file to embed on a website, but it needs to be compressed to an swf. Here is what I have done so far:
1) Used Adobe Media Encoder to convert wmv to flv
2) opened new action script file in flash, and imported the flv Video & applied skin
3) exported as swf
4) go to dreamweaver – insert swf
5) located & inserted it
6) uploaded both swf file & html file in ftp server
when I view the live page it is showing a space for the video, but the actual video is not showing….
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so so much!
You can use FLV as video format. If it is not FLV, you can use the freeware Moyea Video4Web Converter to convert it to FLV – http://www.flash-video-mx.com/video4web-converter/
To add FLV video to website, you can use a web-based FLV player. If you don’t have, you can check Moyea Web Player – http://www.playerdiy.com/
Moyea Web Player ( http://www.playerdiy.com/ ) is a quick solution to add flash video ( FLV ) to website and an easy-to-use Web FLV player creator, with which, creating custom FLV player (flash video player) with scrollable thumbnail playlist for website only needs a few mouse-clicks. And the skin of the generated web player can be easily customized.
This is an example for easily customizing the flash video player –
