How to Put a Flash Video in Dreamweaver CS3
Dreamweaver CS3 allows you to decorate, link and publish your Web pages to the Internet. However, with so many websites competing for visitors' attention -- over 300 million as of the time of publication, according to the Netcraft survey site -- you have to provide your visitors with something slightly more interactive than drop-down menus and clickable buttons. Add a Flash video to your Dreamweaver CS3 website to actively introduce your content and give an audience a way to spend additional time on your site.
