Using Flash Player on my website

For years I have been using short 2-3 minute Quicktime movies
on my website, but the screen is small and it takes a long time to
load. I would like to be able to play these Quicktime movies with
the Flash Player. How do I set this up on my website?

QuickTime Pro will allow you to export as a FLV. Do you have
Flash 8 or CS3?Using Flash Player on my website
I don't have Flash 8 or CS3. I thought I had Quicktime Pro,
but when I look at my Applications on my Mac, all I see is
Quicktime Player. I dimly remember buying Pro and that it is on my
machine, but not a stand alone app I can see. When I use my Player
and Export, there is no FLV option.

QT PRO isn't a 'standalone'.. All it does is 'unlock' the
hidden features of the QuickTime Player..



The easy way to tell is this.. open an MOV.. if you can SAVE
that content, you have QT Pro. Then check the registration section
of the player.. if you have it serialized with Pro it'll say so.



So the point Darren was trying to make is that without the
Flash authoring tool (or Dreamweaver or some similar tool) you'lll
need to use QuickTime to make FLV out of your MOV's.. then you'll
need some Flash Player SWF that you can plug them into to play.
There are quite a number of other developers who've made such SWF's
available for download..

Thanks for your help. I was able to save the Quicktime. But I
don't really know what you mean by check the Registration section
of the Player. In pulling up ''About QuickTime Player'', all I see is
about the player, and nothing about Pro. How do I serialize my
Player with Pro if I have it?. It says nothing now. I called Apple
to try and tell me what you have mentioned, but they would not give
me any help without a service contract.



As I mentioned, if I currently try to Export my .mov, I do
not see a SLV 0ption available which made my think that I do not
have Pro.



Then I will need to download a SWF player. You mention a
number of companies. Can you help me there?

Hi jmore007,



Open system preferences and select Quicktime. You should see
a Register Tab with a Registration Code and it will tell you if it
is QuickTime Pro.

I have checked Quicktime Preferences and I DO have Quicktime
Pro, but I still do not see any way to convert my Quicktime.mov to
a SLV. That option is just not showing when I pull down export. How
can I do this? I am working on a Mac.

The Flash video file format is called, ''.FLV''



You can use Flash or the Flash Video Encoder to convert
QuickTime movies to FLV format. If Flash is installed and you have
QuickTime Pro you will also have options to convert to .FLV from QT
Pro.



Adobe CS3 Photoshop, After Effects and Premier will also
allow you to convert to FLV format.
