I'm working on my website and can't get the swf files to play in dreamweaver. I took the skins out and put one in the root folder but since there are two videos I'm displaying, the other skin having the same name wouldn't go in without renaming or over riding. Now the controls can be seen but not the videos.

no, but Adobe has some good tutorials on their site, IMO. :)

I haven't done flash in a while, but what the hell is this skin you are talking about lol. You mean for the player on the actual webpage? if that's the case, good luck. back in the day (flash MX represent!) i would design the page with that skin and then embed the player. if it can be embedded into the vid now, I have no clue.

also, back then IIRC, flash would not play in dreamweaver, only on the page in a new browser window lol.

After creating a Flash movie you choose File, Save the file as "Somefilename.fla".

To embed the Flash movie you just made into an HTML page, you should go back to your Flash program and do the following steps:

Step 1
Choose File > Open. Open a Flash movie you have created.

Step 2
Choose File > Export Movie.

Step 3
Name the file "somefilename.swf". Choose the location where the file is to be stored (in your Web folder). Click OK.

Step 4
Open the HTML page where you want to insert your Flash movie. Insert this code:

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

This is the minimum code you need to embed a Flash movie in a browser. A broken icon will appear on the Web page if you do not have the Flash plug-in installed.

If i'm not mistaken, wouldn't you want to import the .fla as a flash object into dreamweaver then just place it whereever you want it on your site?

Needs to be in .swf Format to play on any site.
.Fla files will not work on a website.
