Introduction
This brief tutorial demonstates how to bring your Flix-encoded Flash video into FrontPage. While this tutorial focuses on .SWF video files created with Flix, it can be applied to any .SWF file.

Sample Code to Modify
To use your Flix-encoded video with Front Page, use the <object> <embed> code that you would for any .swf.
Here is a sample:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
ID=banner_2000_08_15_b WIDTH=468 HEIGHT=60>

< PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.wildform.com/SDD.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
< PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000099>
< EMBED src="http://www.wildform.com/SDD.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#000099 WIDTH=468 HEIGHT=60
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=
ShockwaveFlash">
< /EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Change file name (in two places) and width and height (in two places) and background color (in two places). Copy this code, i.e. everything between and including the object and embed tags.

Inserting code into FrontPage
  1. Open the html file in FrontPage where you want to insert your Flix video file. (Make sure that this html file is in the same folder as the Flix .SWF file.)
  2. Select Insert>Advanced>HTML from the FrontPage Main Menu.
  3. Paste the code above you have copied, paste it into the HTML Markup window, and click OK
  4. Change to the HTML tab in FrontPage. Your HTML code should be inserted into your web page:
  5. Be sure to save the page in the same directory as the .swf that you are embedding. Your .HTML and .SWF files must be in the same folder, in order for your Flix movie to play. (FrontPage needs to know where the .swf is before it can display it, and if nothing else is specified it will look in the same directory as the source file.)
  6. To see your Flix movie playing, change to the Preview tab in FrontPage.
