Converted wmv to FLV want to convert to swf or imbed FLV in site.

Question

I a'ready used CS5 Flash encoder to convert the WMV to flv swf and it's good quality, but I don't know how to make it work in a website.  It only plays in my video player, locally (before adding to the site).
Is there special code (HTML) that will make it work ... or ... can someone send me instructions on how to conver to SWF.  I've inserted SWF's before and they work.
I need to make sure I can "remove" the control bar.  It's a slide show for a website, don't want it to be interactive, in any way.  I also want it to loop and continue the loop when people go to another page on the site.
I hope I'm not asking too much.  I've been able to achieve this with other software that is no longer current with todays technology.
Appreciate you help.

I would first open the web page you want the flash video to be on.  Next hit the PrtScn SysRq button on your keyboard.  This copies the web page to your clipboard.  Next open PhotoShop and hit Ctrl + N press Enter then press Ctrl + V and copy the image into the PhosoShop Document you just created.  Next with the magnify tool, zoom in on the image where the video is going to be.  If the borders are defined, make a selection around the area and adjust the dimension using Select - Transform Selection.  Once you have the selection accurately defined hit Ctrl + C then Ctrl + N.  The resulting dialog will give you the exact pixel dimension your Flash movie needs to fit into.  If everything fits, this will be the dimension of your Flash movie.  Open Flash and hit Ctrl + J. This will allolw you to re-size the SWF file that is exported from Flash.  Select the correct dimension and adjust the background color if necessary.  Save the Flash Document (FLA) and make sure the video file: flv or f4v is in the same folder. Go to File - Import- Import Video. Hit Browse, select the video and hit Open.  Follow the dialog and choose not to include the controls (None at the top of the drop-down)
Here is the Action Script that makes the video loop:
import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name
var flvControl:FLVPlayback = video1;
var flvSource:String = "etsy_matildas_march.f4v";
// Loop the video when it completes
function completeHandler1(event:VideoEvent):void
flvControl.seek(0);
flvControl.play()
flvControl.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler1);
// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
Publish the SWF from Flash and open the resulting html file in notepad.  Find the code in the Notepad file that looks like this:
<div id="flashContent">
            <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="720" height="440" id="index_2011" align="middle">
                <param name="movie" value="index_2011.swf" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
                <param name="play" value="true" />
                <param name="loop" value="true" />

                <param name="salign" value="" />
                <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="index_2011.swf" width="720" height="440">
                    <param name="movie" value="index_2011.swf" />
                    <param name="quality" value="high" />
                    <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
                    <param name="play" value="true" />
                    <param name="loop" value="true" />
                    <param name="wmode" value="window" />

                    <param name="salign" value="" />
                    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

Paste the code into the appropriate spot on the destination web page.  Either in a Table Cell (old school) or within a DIV contemporary CSS.
Note that the first line that reads: <div id="flashContent"> relates to a CSS file associated with the page if there is one.  On the associated CSS file, the parameters will adjust alignment of the Flash movie on the destination HTML page.
Also note that "loop" in the code just above only relates to the swf file NOT the FLV or F4V.  That's why you need to add the Action Script within Flash.  Be sure to give your video on the stage an instance name and it must match what's in the Action Script.  Also check the name and file path of your flv/f4v. It makes everything a lot easier if all of the associated files are in the same folder.
