Flash Video the Easy Way, Pt. 3

[...] Tom Green – Flash and Video Part 3 [...]

I’m really missing something here… I’ve been trying to use the file I created while following your snow movie tutorial, in these tutorials. The output from the snow tutorial is .swf, but in these tutorials I need .flv – what am I doing wrong?

Flash newbie

Nice clear tutorials… what do you use for screen capture and then adding zoom in and out Fx?

Camtasia Studio 5. I use the Zoom feature in the app, not the auto zoom during capture.

From a new Flash user: I want to take some Quicktime video’s and put them onto a website in a format that most people can view with out downloading anything extra. So I used Flash CS3 Video Encoder to make the movies .flv files. (with the thought that most people will have Flash Player 8 or higher) And I have tried all 3 method’s presented in “Flash Video the Easy Way” to get the movies on Dreamweaver. However every time I go to preview in browser- firefox I am told that I need to download plugins. I have Flash Player 9 on my computer. Any thoughts…comments… or other suggestions… Thanks

Monica:

You sure about the download. What you may be getting is the ASC_Run content thing that creates a Javascript file that is placed in the Scripts folder. It isn’t a plug in. BTW, this is a thing of the past with DW CS4.
