6.
Upload the following assets to the web server hosting your video:
The FLV encoded video clip (which is located in the same folder as the source video
clip you selected with a .flv extension).
If the video clip is in FLV format, Flash uses a relative path to point to the FLV file
(relative to the SWF), letting you use the same directory structure locally that you
use on the server.
The video skin (if you chose to use a skin).
If you choose to use a predefined skin, Flash copies the skin into the same folder as the
FLA file.
The video component.
You must edit the component's URL field to that of the web server to which you are
uploading the video using the Component inspector. For more information, see
"Specifying the contentPath parameter" on page
Importing video for streaming with Flash
Communication Server or FVSS (Flash Professional
only)
You can import a video file that is already deployed to a Flash Communication Server or
FVSS, or you can select a video file that is stored locally on your computer, and upload the
video file to the server after importing it into your FLA file.
To import video for streaming:
1. To import the video clip into the current Flash document, select File > Import > Import
Video.
The Import Video wizard is displayed.
2. Select the video clip you want to import. You can select either a video clip stored on your
local computer, or you can enter the URL of a video already uploaded to your own Flash
Communication Server or a Flash Video Streaming Service (FVSS).
3. Select Stream from Flash Video Streaming Service (FVSS) or Stream from Flash
Communication Server (FCS).
