You can include content on a
page that runs in a Netscape Navigator plug-in, such as a QuickTime or
RealPlayer movie, in the user’s browser. After you insert content for a
Netscape Navigator plug-in, you can use the Properties panel to set
options and parameters for the selected element. When you’re ready to
preview the content, you can play all the plug-in elements at once or
play them individually. If you want to play movies in Design view, the
proper plug-ins must be installed on your computer.

If you have followed the
steps to play plug-in content in the Document window, but some of the
plug-in content does not play, try the following: (1) Make sure the
associated plug-in is installed on your computer, and the content is
compatible with the plug-in version; (2) Open the file
Configuration/Plug-ins/UnsupportedPlug-ins.txt in a text editor and look
to see if the problematic plug-in is listed. This file keeps track of
plug-ins that cause problems in Dreamweaver and are therefore
unsupported. If you experience problems with a particular plug-in,
consider adding it to this file; or (3) Check to see if you have enough
memory. Some plug-ins require an additional 2 to 5 MB of memory to run.
