The Editor allows you to add Adobe Flash files, YouTube videos, or Slideshows created in webCommunicator in an easy and intuitive way.

Inserting Flash

To insert one of the above elements, select the location of the video in the editing area and press the button on the toolbar. The Flash Properties dialog window that will open lets you set configuration options that define the Flash object's source, its size, display properties, or other advanced properties.

The Flash Properties dialog window includes three tabs that group Flash object options: Info, Advanced, and Flashvars (Flash variables). Only "Info" and a few aspects of "Advanced" are necessary. The rest are optional and recommended for advanced users only.

Below is an overview of all General tab elements: URL - the web address of the Flash object. Slideshow -  list of available slideshows created in webCommunicator. Width - the width of the Flash object in pixels. Height - the height of the Flash object in pixels. Preview - a preliminary view of the selected Flash object formatted according to the options chosen above.
