I need to add a control bar (play, pause, progress bar) to a SWF video in Dreamweaver. It can be very simple, the look and feel is not that important, it just needs to be functional.

The only way I can figure out to add one is to import a FLV file into Dreamweaver instead. The problem with this is that I can’t figure out how to export a FLV file directly from Flash CS3, and using a converter program to create a FLV file nullifys the links in the menu at the end of the video.

Any help would be great! This seems like it should be really simple to accomplish, but I have been pulling my hair out over it all day now. 😑

Thanks!!
