You can buy Flash from Macromedia.

Flash video is embedded into a SWF.

Embed your SWF, you're good to go.

No problem. I should clarify. You can embed an FLV file directly into
Flash, which would make the SWF at least as large as the FLV. You can also
use ActionScript to load the FLV externally, which means you'd upload both
your FLV and your SWF to the server. In either case, though, you'll be
embedding a SWF into the HTML page.

Actually there is a Flash Video extension you can get from Macromedia that
gives you the direct insertion capability inside Dreamweaver. I don't remember
the exact name but it's on their web site and costs about $100.

Well, true ... but in the end, it will still be a SWF that either has
that FLV or loads it dynamically. But for sure, $100 is less than the cost
of Flash itself.
