Insert an FLV file
1 Select Insert > Media > FLV.
2 In the Insert FLV dialog box, select Progressive Download or Streaming Video from the Video Type pop-up menu.
3 Complete the rest of the dialog box options and click OK.
Note: Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) does not process nested object tags. For ASP pages, Dreamweaver uses
nested object/embed code instead of nested object code when inserting SWF or FLV files.
Set options for progressive download video
The Insert FLV dialog box lets you set options for progressive download delivery of an FLV file inserted in a web page.
1 Select Insert > Media > FLV (or click the FLV icon in the Media category of the Common insert bar).
2 In the Insert FLV dialog box, select Progressive Download Video from the Video Type menu.
3 Specify the following options:
URL Specifies a relative or absolute path to the FLV file. To specify a relative path (for example,
mypath/myvideo.flv), click the Browse button, navigate to the FLV file, and select it. To specify an absolute path,
type the URL (for example, http://www.example.com/myvideo.flv) of the FLV file.
Skin Specifies the appearance of the video component. A preview of the selected skin appears beneath the Skin pop-
up menu.
Width Specifies the width of the FLV file, in pixels. To have Dreamweaver determine the exact width of the FLV file,
click the Detect Size button. If Dreamweaver cannot determine the width, you must type a width value.
Height Specifies the height of the FLV file, in pixels. To have Dreamweaver determine the exact height of the FLV
file, click the Detect Size button. If Dreamweaver cannot determine the height, you must type a height value.
Note: Total With Skin is the width and height of the FLV file plus the width and height of the selected skin.
Constrain Maintains the same aspect ratio between the width and height of the video component. This option is
selected by default.
Auto Play Specifies whether to play the video when the web page is opened.
Auto Rewind Specifies whether the playback control returns to starting position after the video finishes playing.
4 Click OK to close the dialog box and add the FLV file to your web page.
The Insert FLV command generates a video player SWF file and a skin SWF file that are used to display your video
content on a web page. (To see the new files, you may need to click the Refresh button in the Files panel.) These files
are stored in the same directory as the HTML file to which you’re adding video content. When you upload the
HTML page containing the FLV file, Dreamweaver uploads these files as dependent files (as long as you click Yes in
the Put Dependent Files dialog box).
Set options for streaming video
The Insert FLV dialog box lets you set options for streaming video download of an FLV file inserted in a web page.
1 Select Insert > Media > FLV (or click the FLV icon in the Media category of the Common insert bar).
