You would think that Flash has a way of communicating with its seemingly partner in crime, Dreamweaver when you want to create an html shell to showcase all your flash video. But, after many a trial and error Flash is involved in this less that any of us could have imagined. In order to post a flash file in an HTML skin all you need is an.flv file, which can be created with a Flash Video Encoder, and is made by encoding your.avi file. Once you have this, all the work is now done in Dreamweaver.
Under the Insert dropdown there is a media option... select flash video, point the url option to the.flv file and follow the rest of the instructions. Dreamweaver ends up creating all the flash files needed for this skin, as well as a play, pause and volume option, and generates all the code so that you are able to just plop it in wherever you need it.
So there it is, as designers we tend to over think things... sometimes the best answers are usually the easiest solution.
