After you insert a Flash or Shockwave movie into your
page in Dreamweaver, you can use the Properties panel to set or change
movie properties. You can use the Properties panel to adjust the movie
size and scale, set loop and autoplay options, show or hide a border,
align the movie on the page, and specify a background color for the
movie area. If you have the Flash program installed on your computer,
you can even edit the source Flash file (.fla) associated with the SWF
file directly from the Properties panel.
