Does Adobe sell a web embedded flash player

[geoffrey edwards]

I need to embed

a flash player into a website. As the flash player will enable my client to play nearly all formats. The problem is that Adobe do not sell a player. Why not?

The player (free) is a plug-in for browsers.

You don't embed the player itself.

You embed Flash content which is created using Flash Professional, third party software (like SoThink SWF creator) or a video converter to take WMVs or MPGs and turn them into SWFs.

Once you've created the Flash content, it's embedded into the page (site) and the plug-in plays it in the browser.

Thanks Mac+Win=Me,

Still a bit puzzled though,I have Flash Pro CS3 but haven't got around to learning to use it yet. It sounds like I don't need a third party player then?

You don't need a third party player.

If you build Flash content on Flash Pro, Or something like SoThink SWF, or if you convert a video to FLV, then all you have to do is embed the content.

The plugin (Flash Player) will do the rest in the browser.

Time to learn how to use the program then. What about playlists can they be added with Flash CS3?

Using ActionScript, yes, Playlists can be added.

There's a forum for that too when the time comes.
