Adding media to a Web page
GoLive supports a variety of plug-ins that let browsers play back multimedia over the Web, allowing you to place video and audio clips on your page. You can include any multimedia element supported by Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, including QuickTime, RealMedia, SVG, and SWF plug-ins. You can preview supported media clips from within GoLive.
GoLive offers a Plug-in icon that you configure, as well as predefined SWF, QuickTime, RealMedia, and SVG plug-ins. If you use the Plug-in icon, you map the file type to the plug-in to determine which plug-in opens which type of file. To make any plug-in available to GoLive, you must first drag it into the Plug-ins folder located in the same folder as the GoLive application. For more information about mapping file type to the plug-ins installed in the Plug-ins folder, see Setting plug-in preferences.
Important: Before uploading QuickTime movies, you must make them self-contained--that is, convert them to a "Web-compatible" sequential format. For more information on creating QuickTime movies, see Introduction to the QuickTime workflow and tools.
To add a media file:
- Do one of the following:
- Drag the Plug-in icon or one of the predefined plug-in icons (SWF, QuickTime, RealMedia, or SVG) from the Basic set
in the Objects palette to the document window, or double-click the icon in the Objects palette. - In the Basic tab of the Plug-in Inspector, specify a file for your plug-in.
