Flash Video the Easy Way, Pt. 2

Isn’t embedding via the swf/ javascript object not a more reliable way to upload/ play swf files? See here-

Absolutely. I use SWFObject for practically everything I do. In fact CommunityMX has a Dreamweaver extension that makes this dead simple to accomplish: http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=D982E

When doing these tutorials, though, I work with what I get from the apps. In this case there is JS file and rather than ignore it I show what you need to do with it. If I didn’t and just jumped into SWFObject, I gyarantee there will be questions here about what the heck to do with the JS file:-)

Cannot see the video on MAC with Leopard 10.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 this is not good!! Is this site build for PC users , why is ist not standards compliant?

I am answering this on my MacBookPro running Leopard 10.5 and the Flash Player 10,0,12,36 . The video is playing with no issues.This is odd.

I followed the tutorial, but my skin is not showing up. The video plays fine out of DW, but the skin isn’t there, even though the skin file was created… I’m kinda puzzled. anything special I needed to do when i brought the video into flash and selecting the skin type???

I figured it out… my DW file wasn’t saved to the same folder

Hi there,

I have the same problem, I followed the tutorial and everything went fine, the skin appears nicely in the swf, but it doesn’t show up in dreamweaver.
I think everything is in the right folder, any suggestion what else could be wrong???
