Dreamweaver needs to be told that the Full Screen button is live.When video is not video Up to this point in the chapter, we have treated video as entertainment. The user simply watches it. In this case, video is a rather passive medium. However, sometimes video becomes content and does not require a player, captions, or even full-screen capability. In this case, video can be imported directly into a Flash movie clip, which makes it fully accessible to Flash as content on the stage. Before we start, we want you to be real clear on a fact of video life: video files are large, and importing any of the files you have worked with so far in the chapter directly onto the Flash timeline would be a major error. When considering working with video content on the Flash timeline, think short—loops of about two seconds—and think small. The physical size of the video should match precisely the area of the stage where it will be used. The FLV files used in this exercise were all created in Adobe After Effects. For details about creating such videos, see From After Effects to Flash: Poetry in Motion Graphics by Tom Green and Tiago Dias (friends of ED, 2006).Embedding video Earlier, we told you that embedding video in the timeline was, well, evil.

You will see a missive at the bottom of the dialog box warning you of the evils of this technique, but don’t worry—the file isn’t that big. Click the Continue button to open the Embedding page. 5. On the Embedding page, select Embedded video from the Symbol type drop-down menu. Also be sure the check boxes for Place instance on stage, Expand timeline if needed, and Include audio are selected, as shown in Figure 10-40.

On the Finish Video Import page, click the Finish button to return to the Flash stage. You will see a progress bar, and when it finishes, the video will be on the stage, and the timeline will expand to accommodate the number of frames in the video. 7. Select the video, and in the Properties panel, set its X and Y values to 0. If you open the Library, you will also see the video is in a video object. 8. Add a new layer to the timeline and enter your name. 9. Save and test the movie. The weird ghostlike apparitions move around behind your name (see Figure 10-41). Figure 10-41. Embedded ...
