Viewing and editing device video symbol properties

The Video Properties dialog box lets you view and edit information for video symbols in the Library panel.

To open the Video Properties dialog box, do one of the following:

To import a device video into a video symbol:

  1. Select a video symbol in the Library panel and open the Video Properties dialog box.
  2. In the Video Properties dialog box, select the option to bundle the video source in the SWF file, if it's not already selected.
  3. Click Import and, in the file browser, locate the device video file to import and select it.

    If you don't see the desired video file listed in the Open dialog box (or if you can see it but can't select it), select All Files (*.*) from the Files of Type pop-up menu (Windows), or All Files from the Enable pop-up menu (Macintosh). This is necessary sometimes because the Flash authoring tool doesn't recognize most device video formats.

  4. Click Open to close the file browser.
  5. Click OK to close the Video Properties dialog box.

    NOTE

     

    The OK button is dimmed until you either import a device video or deselect the option to bundle the video source in the SWF file.

To assign an identifier to a video symbol:

  1. Select the video symbol and open the Video Properties dialog box.
  2. Import a device video into the symbol, if you haven't already.
  3. Select Export for ActionScript.
  4. In the Identifier text box, enter an identifier for the video symbol.

    Like all identifiers in ActionScript, the first character must be a letter, underscore (_), or dollar sign ($). Each subsequent character can be a number, letter, underscore, or dollar sign.

  5. Click OK to close the Video Properties dialog box.
