Normally, you require a testing server only if you are developing pages with ASP, ColdFusion, or PHP (see
If you are building websites that use only HTML, and haven't defined a testing
server, pressing F12 (Windows) Opt+F12 (Macintosh) produces a jumble of skin controls onscreen. The workaround
is either to define the testing server and use the testing server to preview your page, or upload your files to a remote
server and view them there.
Note: It’s possible that security settings may also be responsible for an inability to preview local FLV content, but Adobe has
not been able to confirm this. You can try changing your security settings to see if it helps. For more information on changing
your security settings, see
Other possible causes for problems with FLV files
• If you are having trouble previewing locally, make sure the Preview using temporary file option is deselected under
Edit > Preferences > Preview in Browser
• Make sure you have the latest FlashPlayer plug-in
• Be wary of moving files and folders around outside of Dreamweaver. When you move files and folders outside of
Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver cannot guarantee the correct paths to FLV-related files.
• You can temporarily replace the FLV file that’s giving you trouble with a known working FLV file. If the replacement
FLV file works, then the problem is with the original FLV file, and not with your browser or computer.
Edit or delete an FLV component
Change the settings for the video on your web page, by selecting the video component placeholder in the Dreamweaver
Document window and using the Property inspector. Another way is to delete the video component and reinsert it by
selecting Insert > Media > FLV.
Edit the FLV component
1
Select the video component placeholder in the Dreamweaver Document window by clicking the FLV icon at the
center of the placeholder.
2
Open the Property inspector (Window > Properties) and make your changes.
Note: You cannot change video types (from progressive download to streaming, for example) by using the Property
inspector. To change the video type, delete the FLV component, and reinsert it by selecting Insert > Media > FLV.
Delete the FLV component
❖
Select the FLV component placeholder in the Dreamweaver Document window and press Delete.
Remove FLV detection code
For Dreamweaver CS4 and later, Dreamweaver inserts Flash Player detection code directly in the object tag that
contains the FLV file. For Dreamweaver CS3 and earlier, however, the detection code resides outside the FLV file’s object
tag. For this reason, if you want to delete FLV files from pages created with Dreamweaver CS3 and earlier, you must
remove the FLV files and use the Remove FLV detection command to remove the detection code.
❖
Select Commands > Remove Flash Video Detection.
Insert HTML5 video
Dreamweaver allows you to insert HTML5 video into web pages.
The HTML5 video element provides a standard way to embed movies or videos in web pages.
