Inserting QuickTime Movies
You can export Flash as QuickTime if you don't have a movie to insert
Here's a short clip from a longer movie
Click on the Media tab and use the Plugin button to insert your QuickTime file
Navigate to your file
And a little plugin icon appears in your Dreamweaver document
The Properties Panel reflects the default size (32 x 32)
To fix this you must open your QuickTime movie (unless you already know the exact size of the movie)
Get Movie Properties (Command-J)
Select Size from the pull-down menu
In this example the width is 350 pixels, the height is 200 pixels
Enter the width in the Properties Panel and hit the tab key
Your movie changes to reflect the new width
Enter the height PLUS 16 pixels and hit the return key (or tab or enter)
The extra 16 pixels is for movie controller
Your movie is now resized correctly
To test it, click on the Play button
You should see your movie play
Click Stop
Click Parameters... (you MUST complete this step)
The Parameters dialog box opens
Type autoplay as shown
Press the tab key and type false
Hit return to set the value and click OK (or hit return a second time)
Now your movie won't start playing until the Play button is clicked
That's it. You did it!
