By going to the Insert Options. It looks like the other users have given you exact instructions so I'm not going to repeat them again. However what I DO want to tell you. You have to make sure that the computer you're using has programs to open the FLV file. Probably would be save to covert the FLV to WMV or MPEG file. Those are more universal and can be opened by almost any computer. Since the FLV format is newer lots of computers don't have that capability, my friend. Pablo
