You can't. You need to do that in Dreamweaver.

How do I insert a movie file using SWF?

I am 100% new to Golive and have been asked to upload a video (linked on youtube) to a webpage for my company's website. I used the SWF feature and typed in the URL. I couldn't get it to display and I don't know what step I am missing and have only the native help files to go by. It is probably very simple but I am really lost. Please help.
Thank you for your assistance.

This is a ditto... but Inserting Camtasia movies (MP4-Flash) into Captivate (a path or JS challenge)

I’m using Captivate v. 6 and Camtasia v. 8
I’ve created Camtasia movies as MP4 – Flash.
My Captivate project is a SCORM housed on an LMS (SyberWorks) for the company’s internal intranet.
In Captivate I’ve inserted/imported movies as Event Videos, Progressive Download with a playbar/skin.
Movies are housed on same directory level as the .html and .swf zipped files.
Path to video files are relative (ie)
Z:\Orgs\ogslp\Courses\2012DfltPrvnt\Test 6 Flash with controller2.mp4
I did find the following note on Adobe’s site:
Note: If your Adobe Captivate project contains FLV/F4V files, ensure that the files contain metadata for the video player to function correctly. FLV/F4V files created with Flash Communication Server 1.5.2, FLV Exporter version 1.2, and Sorenson Squeeze® 4.0 automatically contain metadata. Sorenson Squeeze 4.0 is included with the Flash Video Kit. If you import an FLV file that does not have any metadata, the file will not play correctly in your project.
and am waiting for the IT department to get a copy of Adobe Media Encoder so I can embed javascript into my mp4/Flash Movies.
The movies of course play very well off my hard drive, but not off the LMS, a deja vu from the link below.
So… is my issue a path issue or do I simply need to embed javascript into my video(s), or perhaps both?

And PS, why are no videos showing up in the video manager? I can see them in the author slides, but not in the manager.
Thnx - wjf

This is a reply to my own message. A work around that will allow our team to move forward is to make a screen capture of a screen capture. We have content experts who are equipped with Camtasia. These folks will make their narrated movies. I'll then capture their movies with Captivate's screen capture by following: Insert > Recording Slide. Google Chrome of course has the Flash player installed by default so I open the mp4 (M4V) or FLV movie via Chrome and use Captivate's Recording Slide, choose Video Demo option. This gets me a Camtasia screen capture into Captivate. Import audio on its own and it matches up with my test of a movie 1 minute long (longer videos might slip out of sync - will test this).
However, the movie does not have the convenient playbar attached, so video navigation/control can be gained via a Captivate playbar for the slide itself. This offers a double set of navigation options b/c I also created my own set of navigation controls with Flash, but with a simple set of instructions users will know to use bottom playbar for video control and my flash buttons for slide navigation. Its a bit clunky, but this is what I have for now until the engineers have time to target the following:

How do I insert Fireworks Slideshow (non flash) into Dreamweaver?

I have been trying to import a slideshow from flash that I created from the built in template. I used the player that does not require a flash plug in and I cannot figure out how to insert it into my webpage in Dreamweaver. When I post the code directly it says that I have to enable java script? I am new to dreamweaver/fireworks and coding. I know that it should be simple, but I have not been able to figure it out. Thank you for any help you can offer!

I don't use that function, but here's a list of articles that may prove useful:

You could also look at using jquery, very simple to use and help docs come with most of the apps.

How can I insert different sizes of Flash in a Fluid Grid layout?

I am trying to develop a simple website based on the standard template 10. For this example there are 3 sizes of each image used, to suit the 3 display sizes.
I wish to do the same with a flash animation, but cannot see how.
The "@media screen" feature is a CSS only device, whereas the flash animation has to be in the HTML code.
Being very new to web design, the answer may be simple, and I hope someone can help.

Short answer: Don't use Flash. It's not web friendly and won't work in most mobile devices.
Long answer: Depends on what you're using animations for. Look at Edge Animate or jQuery or CSS3 Transitions which work in all mobile / tablet devices:

How to export/convert FCE movies into AVCHD format?

I have read a number of topics addressing similar questions but haven't yet found a satisfactory explanation of why it is not simple to do the opposite of what the Log and Transfer function does when importing AVCHD footage in FCE.
The footage shot by camcorders is heavily compressed (my Sony camcorder generates 24 Mbps -that's BIT, not BYTE, per second- at its highest rate), thanks to their on-board processor (BIONZ in the case of my camera: http://www.sony.com.sg/microsite/dslr/technologies/bionz.html). Yet, when played by hardware (such as the camcorder itself) on a HD-TV, the movies look gorgeous. Hence, this is a perfectly acceptable compression. And it does not take an enormous amount of memory. For instance, a ~10 min sequence encoded at 17Mbps on my camcorder occupies ~2GB.
However, once imported by FCE, each frame is individually extracted for ease of editing, and the size explodes. So exporting the resulting edited movie (in 1080HD) as a QuickTime movie is a recipe for rapid hard drive saturation (and YouTube export failure). I have tried several codecs offered by FCE (H.264, mp4) but the resulting compressed videos are still humongous (North of 5 GB for the example I mentioned).
It would seem that what the BIONZ processor achieves in real-time should be within reach of a modern CPU at a much slower pace (we are used to several hours of rendering, aren't we?). Yet, that is not the case. Is there a good reason for that?
Thanks for your comments.

Tom,
I first noticed it when looking at the videos created by FCE (that was the origin of my post) played in QT. Usually I play them at the default size chosen by QT for my screen, which is something like 1400 x whatever.
The problem (in QT) occurs at any viewing size. It is of course less apparent at smaller size, but it's there.
Then having figured out that I would not improve the output, I looked at the sequence in FCE. Looking at the video played in the Canvas, the jagged edges are there. Of course to see them well, it is best to zoom a bit, but they are there at any size.
Having figured this out, I tried to reimport the original footage using Log and Transfer. The window that opens has a preview, and I saw the jagged edges there too (whatever size the preview panel was set to). I could not find any settings that I could play with to avoid this problem.
My naive conclusion is that FCE does not know how to handle 60i footage as "well" as my TV does. I am ready to believe that in reality FCE does a more accurate job of rendering the two fields into a single frame, but as a viewer, I prefer the rendering of my TV. And since both engines have been designed by humans, I would tend to say that the engineers of my Samsung TV had a better grasp of what is a good rendering of a 60i footage than did the engineers at Apple (or elsewhere) who wrote FCE.
Now, I may be missing some basic thing here, and I am ready to learn.
BTW, the jagged edged effect I am seeing is what is shown on the first picture of the wikipedia page you pointed me to.

How do you convert a movie in .DAT format so its iPhone ready

I'm on a current MAC BOOK PRO syncing with a iPhone 3Gs. I can play the .DAT movie in VLC on my MAC BOOK but cant work out how to get it into my iPhone. I cant open it with QT
Any idea anyone?

Does the DVD play like on a normal DVD player? Trying to find out if you have a real DVD formatted video.
If you just copied off the data, that is not how to take a DVD to a computer. It has to be converted off.
You said it is a personal video he made so if that is the case, look up Handbrake on Google as it can convert it for you. Even has setting for iPhone.
Use the DVD he gave you as I don't know what is up with that DAT file.

How do I burn a movie in mpeg4 format so it will play in my DVD player? Have no iDVD on my Mac.

Have video on my Mac Book in mpeg 4 format that I burned to DVD. Can't watch it in my DVD player. How do I convert to a format that will play in DVD player? No iDVD on my Mac Book Pro.

You'll need some sort of additional software. You can still get iDVD by purchasing the iLife '11 retail box (it's available from the Apple Store or probably any Apple dealer). Or you can get other software such as Roxio's Toast. There's also a simple free application you can try:

How to export a fireworks file to flash while retaining image quality?

I created a banner for our website using fireworks cs3. Part of the banner has aimation (basically a slide show of 6 photos). I've tried to export the files by saving the frams to files, but when I do this, the image quality really gets bad. When I try to change the export settings and change the dither, everything but the last frame looks better and the last frame looks like a yellow color is splattered all over it....I've tried just saving the file as an .swf file but when I do so, the file doesn't work when I insert it into my web page, it doesn't work. Is there a better way to do this? Can I export as something else then import into flash and still retain my image quality? Thanks for any input and help!

To insert hand_right shock wave flash

Pleas let me know the following
1. how I can insert hand_right shock wave flash in a question
slide
2. What is the ways to give back gound music as a continous
loop and also from where how I can download the back gound music as
free
With thanks
Pol

Hi Pol
I'm losing you on the Flash bit. What is hand_right? Is this
something you created?
Normally to insert a Flash object you click Insert >
Animation and browse to where the object resides. Have you tried
that?
As for background music, click Audio > Background Audio
followed by the Import button.
www.FlashKit.com offers some
music files there. I'm sure some Googling and other searching could
reveal lots more sites offering music clips. The big issue with
those is copyright and possible infringement. But that's a whoe
other gnarly issue.
Cheers... Rick

Converting LiveType movie to Flash?

Is there anybody that knows of a way to convert a LiveType movie (i.e. Quicktime movie) to Flash format for webpages? I have already tried to put a web banner I created in LiveType into my company's webpage, but it loaded very slowly on a high-speed internet connection (T1, to be specific).
I was noticing that parts of the Apple website have Flash animations (ex: in the Final Cut Studio area), and was wondering if any of those animations were created with Apple's own software (like Motion) or by a third party....
If anyone can help answer this question, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Sounds like your FLV's are not being encoded with the proper bite rate. I have no quality problems with FLV's (I've been doing them for clients for a few years). As far as comparing FLV's to a swf stream, if you're talking vector animation, then you're basing the wrong comparison.
Frankly, I wouldn't rely on something like LiveType to create an animated GIF, that's what Photoshop/Imageready and Fireworks are for, and they will work very well with LiveType and are darn good at what they do.

How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?

I posted this same question on the Dreamweaver forum and a suggestion was made that I try over here for help, so please excuse the duplicate question.
How can I add a library of flash movies to my site?
Hey there everyone and thanks for reading my question.
I have a library of flash movies (specifically a library of maps) and when the map movies are run in Flash they call each other just fine (i.e. the USA map will load the Georgia map when Georgia is clicked on the USA map, etc etc etc for each state).
HOWEVER, when I insert the USA map in one of my site pages (I'm working on the site using Dreamweaver CS4) the USA map page will load, but when a state is clicked the area on the page for the map goes blank and the state map does not load.
Short of coding a specific path in each of my state maps (in the Flash editor) is there a way to tell Dreamweaver there is a library of maps, look there for the sub-map?
and if I do have to code the path to the map, can I code a relative path rather than a specific URL address for the maps?
I know this is probably one of those simple things, but I'm not seeing it (can you tell I'm new at this??)
Thanks in advance for any help!
Frances

Hey again,
Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Everyone's comments got me to thinking about what the path was in the calls from the maps.
here is what finally worked:
on (release)
loadMovie("../FlashIMapDownloads/georgia.swf", 0);
this script code is in the action script for the "georgia" button of my main map - a US Map. (I hope I'm describing all this correctly).
I'll post this same info in the Dreamweaver forum too.
Thanks again!
Frances

When insert my lexar USB flash drive I get the message that the disk was not readable by this computer. It has worked previous to this and I do not want to lose the data by reformatting the drive. How can I reformat this drive and not lose my data?

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.
