Auto Play

Auto Rewind
Specifies the time, in seconds, required for buffering before the video starts playing. The default buffer
Buffer Time
time is set to 0 so that the video starts playing instantly after the Play button is clicked. (If Auto Play is selected, the
video starts playing as soon as a connection is made with the server.) You might want to set a buffer time if you are
delivering video that has a higher bit rate than the site visitor's connection speed, or when Internet traffic might cause
bandwidth or connectivity problems. For example, if you want to send 15 seconds of video to the web page before
the web page starts to play the video, set the buffer time to 15.

3 Click OK to close the dialog box and add the Flash Video content to your web page.
The Insert Flash Video command generates a video player SWF file and a skin SWF file that are used to display your
Flash Video on a web page. The command also generates a main.asc file that you must upload to your Flash Media
Server. (To see the new files, you may need to click the Refresh button in the Files panel.) These files are stored in the
same directory as the HTML file to which you're adding Flash Video content. When you upload the HTML page
containing Flash Video content, don't forget to upload the SWF files to your web server, and the main.asc file to your
Flash Media Server.
