    Long delay for Flash video to appear

    tenorocity Community Member
      This is the second of a series of related questions about Flash video in DW.

      When I embed an flv into a DW page using "insert flash video", as you'd expect, it plays immediately when previewing it locally.

      When I view it live, i.e. online, however, it takes sometimes as long as 8 second before the player appears on the page.

      Once it appears, it plays fine. But the delay is unacceptable.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks.

          Must be a fairly large file. Try sizing your video down to 320 x 240 px or
          shortening the running time to reduce file size.

            I only use insert flash video for quick time mov.

            It is better to use insert flash .swf
