Hi Janine,

I have viewed Total Training for Dreamweaver CS3 and enjoyed your tutorials.

I viewed your tutorial on image swapping. I am interested in swapping an image for a small Flash movie. Can this be done and if so, what is the best way? I edited the video in Premiere Pro CS3 and exported it to a .flv file. I can create the movie (.swf file) in Flash CS3, but I’m not sure how to make it work in Dreamweaver.

As you can probably tell, I am a novice. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and taking the time to read this email.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for watching my video. If you just want to have a still image appear before the video starts playing, the simplest solution is to add the still image as a frame to your FLV file so that it displays before the video is watched. You’d add the frame in your video editor, export the FLV file, and then insert the file into your site by using Dreamweaver.

On my Web site, you’ll find written instructions for adding Flash and Flash video files (note they are different) – at www.DigitalFamily.com/dreamweaver.

I hope that helps and I wish you all the best,
Janine
