removing the player from an embedded flv
 

hey guys,
ive been working on my wedding page for the last few days and i have a few flvs on it with invisible skins.

i really love to get rid of the little control player on the "wedding dvd" banner on the top.

i have seriously 0 knowledge of html and im using dreamweaver8 in the design mode. the most i could do would be able to paste in some code i could possibly get.

i choose the most inconspicuos player available but it still annoys me.

if i simply delete the player from the folder the movie doesnt play.

any help would be much appreciated.

p.s. theres some nice music to accompany your investigations.........

It is looking good so far!
As for removing the control from the top banner,
Well I would have saved the banner as a SWF and
not a FLV and just paste the code below into your page.
Make sure you change the width and hight to suit,
and banner.swf to what ever your swf is called.
Or I am pretty sure you could import the swf into dreamweaver

If you switch to code view in dreamweaver, If in the code somewhere you can see something like
<param name="controller" value="true" />
or
<param name="showcontrols" value="true" />

Then change true to false. and then you do not have to worry about changing the FLV to SWF

Hope that works!
James
