Media
Add QuickTime, Flash, RealMedia and Windows Media files to your website.
You can add a media player to every page area or area template. To add a media player, edit the content of a page area or area template and drag the media player from the elements panel to the editor.
A media player displays media content in many different formats. Add Quicktime compatible video, Windows Media compatible video and audio, Flash movies or RealMedia compatible video and audio.
Flash video (.flv files) are not supported. It is required to embed these files into a normal flash movie (.swf file). You can display the .swf file in a Flash player then.
Select the player, which you want to use on the properties panel at Player and select a media file from your harddisk at media. Every player type has a number of player specific properties.
