TIPS

Can I modify the playback controls?

Flash includes a set of skins, or playback controls,

for the component. You can use the Property

Inspector to select different controls by clicking the

pencil icon ( ) next to skin and then choosing a

different skin in the dialog box that appears.

Do I simply need to publish my movie for my

video to work?

You must publish your movie to create the SWF, but

you should be sure when you upload your files to

your Web server that you upload not only the SWF

and container HTML files, but also the FLV or F4V

video as well.
