AECT 2008 - Flash Video Workshop

We are using the demo of Adobe Flash CS3 Professional, a demo of CS4 not being available yet. Half way through the workshop and I can now convert videos to .fla, .flv and .swf files. Mighty easy, assuming you have the $700 Flash software. Typical well organized Adobe product. Presenter and participants speak highly of the free VLC Media Player but the free Flash Video Player seems to work fine. After importing video into Flash, the files that need to be uploaded to a website are the resulting .flv file and two .swf files, one of which is the player skin. Files created with Flash Video Encoder are one piece without the controller skin.
