Inserting a Flash video player into xhtml

Powderhound · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 17th, 2006, 20:59

Hi

I'm kind of new to using Flash for the web so i need a bit of help. I want to insert a video player that i made at school for an assignment into my xhtml. At school we used dreamweaver and you could just drag and drop the flash movie onto your page, but i don't have Dreamweaver so i don't know what to do. Also i would prefer to know what i'm doing and what the code means, rather than just dragging and dropping.

Here is my xhtml from school. It's just a blank page with the movie player on it. When i put the player onto my site i will what my template with the movie player where my content goes. See my site at www.skiaustralia.abshost.net

Code: Select all

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type c>
<TITLE>video_player2</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
<!-- text used in the movie-->
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
 WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" id="video_player2" ALIGN="">
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="video_player2.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="video_player2.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" NAME="video_player2" ALIGN=""
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Well do you have flash? If so publish the file and it will give you the HTML code to embed it within your file. As far as what the code means and what each line does, I would recommend searching google and finding that out yourself. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. Good Luck!!

Were exactly will it give you the html to put into the site, i'm published lots of things but i've never been given html for it.
I'll search the meaning of the code in google, i'll post here when i get the video page up and running

Ok in flash go to...

File, Publish Settings, and make sure HTML and SWF are selected. Then say ok. Then, File and Publish, it will publish the HTML file where ever you told it too. I am telling you this by memory so I might be a little off. Let me know if you need any more help!!

Also I found a link that explains what I said above more correctly and in more detail, also tells you what each line of code means. Hope this helps. Here is the link, http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp
