The Adobe Flash video component in Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 helps you easily insert and display video files in your websites. It's great for Dreamweaver users who are unfamiliar with Flash because you can insert Flash video (FLV) files on your web pages without actually using the Flash authoring tool. The Flash video component enables you to select from several different playback controllers that visitors use to control the FLV file playing on your web page. You can choose also between two different options for delivering your video: progressive download or streaming.
This article shows you how to use Dreamweaver CS3 to insert and display FLV files on your site. The Flash video component uses a wizard interface that enables you to choose display and delivery options and even preview the player's design (skin) before you insert it on a web page. Despite the automated way that code is inserted onto a web page, you do have control over the end result. Using the Flash video component isn't the only way to display FLV files on the web, but it's fast and easy.
