... Maybe the path is wrong that the actual video controls are connected to..
seems I remember there being a place where you have to edit the path, so
when you upload it to your server, the path is going to change ... I worked
a little bit with some Flash video players, but it's been a while.

Hi Warren. I have virtually no scripting skills, though I've done
some scripting when I had to. My basic question, when all the other
stuff I posted is peeled back, is this:

If a relatively cheap product like Flash Video Studio can give me a
simple swf file set that embeds in FrontPage quickly and easily by
drag and drop, why can't Flash CS4 do the same thing? It appears to
do the same thing, and in fact the Flash CS4 swf works fine when I
drag and drop in FrontPage as long as I don't upload it to my server.
I'm so close to getting what I want from Flash CS4 that it's
tantalizing. Is it by design that what I'm getting from CS4 doesn't
work? Surely it would work if I do something right. But what?

Still, many thanks for your reply. I'll give Flex a try after I've
figured out what an SDK is. See ... I really do need something simple
here.

And I thought you were great in The Wild Bunch.

Thanks, Jenn. I went ahead and got a copy of Flash Video Studio which
produces swf files I can drop onto a web page in FrontPage, edit
dimensions, and I'm done. The controls are embedded in the video file
and I don't have to worry about paths or extra files containing the
controls.

It seems like something Flash CS4 should do with ease, but I guess not.
I'd still like to know whether it can be done easily with Flash CS4
Professional. I just had the feeling that I was about to succeed and
that I hadn't done something simple -- like setting the right path. But
I never did figure it out.

Whatever works is what I say a person should do! :)
