Imbedding Flash video?

[Dario D.]

Hi all.

I tried Googling this, but couldn't find anything (and the forum's Search button won't expand or click).

Does anyone know how to get an FLV flash video file to show up on a page, using FrontPage 2003? (I can add FLV files to a page, but they won't play a video, and display as a single-color, empty square) I'm not a coder, so I would be using an interface tool to create it. This is my site: http://www.deefrag.com/ - It would be going in the Extras section.

- Also, at the moment I'm using "Any Video Converter" to create the FLV's, but does anyone know of an app that will generate videos that play in flash media players, like any video site? (with play/pause buttons, etc)

I haven't seen my videos on a webpage yet, but somehow I'm assuming they won't have any controls. (unless Flash player has a default media player setup or something, that automatically gives you some control over a video)

Thanks.
- PS: the page the videos would go on look like this at the moment: http://www.deefrag.com/extras/game_videos/index.htm Notice the blue square.

No takers? I guess this is Dreamweaver territory? I have that too. Setting up a flash video there would work as well, if anyone knows how.

Heres an easy way. Go to www.abrite.com, join as a publisher (free!). Upload the FLV to your server. Follow the steps in Adbrite's InVideo tutorial. It will give you the code you need to have the video on your site.

I use it all the time. www.filmmmakingcentral.com

Another source is www.wimpyplayer.com, but its a little more complex.

cheers!
