Lo all,

As i’m doing portfolio section i came across this “new” flv… i have my seetings done with quicktime movie and i’m so used to it that i don’t feel the need to change to flv, unless u know some advantage that i don’t know 😏

I’m trying to put my video (mov) inside my main window and i came with a (stupid) problem that he doesn’t show up when previewing… is there a way to make it be previewed without having to put it online??? Just because that embed thing doesn’t seem to be usefull for anyone that wants to work fast… if u embed it (like they recomend) it takes ages to preview it…

I didn’t want to go to the “default” solution that is to open in a new window Ⓜ

I’ve tried to read some threads on this but didn’t find any solution for this matter so if u have the time to share your knowledge, go ahead :thumb:

many thanks

Rui Romano
