If you have a video file, such as an MOV
or MP4
file that you want to display as a SWF
on the Web, simply encode (or compress) the video file into an FLV
. With Flash CS4, you use the Adobe Media Encoder to do this. It can be accessed directly or through Flash's import video function. If you are using an earlier version of Flash, encoding is still possible, and the process is similar.
Make sure that you have a video file that is compatible with the Adobe Media Encoder. If you do not have a file to use, by all means, use the short.mov
file in theChapter 4 folder. This file is a clip of the full length summer.mp4
file from www.archive.org that is listed on that website as being in the Public Domain. Use the MOV
file because it is a short file, so the time it takes the encoder to render the video will be shorter. This is good for the purposes of learning and practicing. Also, do not worry if you cannot hear any of the sounds. There is nothing...
