To embed multiple A4Desk Flash Video Players on a website using Dreamweaver

Once you have created and published your video player,

1. Publish each video player to different folder. The published files structure should be as follows:
   
   /VideoPlayer1/a4dfvp/
   /VideoPlayer1/videoplayer.htm
   
   /VideoPlayer2/a4dfvp/
   /VideoPlayer2/videoplayer.htm
   
   Figure 1
   
2. Copy the embed code when you publishing for each video player.
   
   Figure 2
   
   You can also check the box Use full path for the embed code and type the URL (e.g., http://www.server.com/VideoPlayer1/ for the first player and http://www.server.com/VideoPlayer2/ for the second player) where you have uploaded the /a4dfvp/ to. A set of embed code containing the 'full path' will then be generated.
   
   
3. Go to your website folder and find the ".htm" file (e.g. "home.htm")

4. Edit the ".htm" file (e.g."home.htm") with Dreamweaver.

5. Paste the scripts between <!-- Start of A4Desk Flash Video Player --> and <!-- End of A4Desk Flash Video Player -->(which you copied for each video player) to the text area of your site's ".htm" file (e.g. "home.htm"), or to the place you want to display the video players.
   
6. Replace the embed code for the two video players. Add the folder name of your video player to the "value" attributes for the following parameters:
