.SWI Flash Files, How Do I Play .MPGs on my Site?

[Unregistered]

Ok, I have Swish Flash maker, but when I save the files they come out in .swi, and theres no way of changing that I dont think. How do I put these type of files and play them on a website then? Also, if I have a .MPG video file, and I wanna put it on a website, what is the HTML to have it play automatically when the person views the page? Thanks!

The variables are:
Height=x, Width =x
Autoplay=true|false Default is false
Controller=true|false Default is true
Loop=true|false Default is false
HREF="URL" This provides a link when movie is clicked on.

Well, I do not have Swish, but from what I can see in the Swish FAQ, I think that your file will come out in SWF, the Macromedia Flash format.

Currently Netscape and Internet Explorer cannot view .mpg vidoes, i'm sure someone makes a plugin that can view them but most people don't have it.
If you can change your .mpg video to .avi it would work inside the browser

also be aware that a vidoe clip...mpeg/ avi or otherwise will be a large file size. If you find a way to embed it in the page...its still going to take a while to download. They could click a link and be gone before it even starts.

I know I would be gone as quick as I could hit the back button. What's so all fired important that you want to irritate visitors and drive them away?

hi have you tried this version, too?

<img dynsrc="yourmovie.avi/mpg" width=320 height=240 start="mouseover"> you can choose if start on mouseover or on pageload, big advantage is that the movie streams and you see no loading sequenz or anything else, you see the first picture of the movie and on mouseover it starts if data is enough to play

i'd suggest tranforming the mpg file in a real media file (using real producer) it's easy enough to have them start automatically, and they're streaming files, so they'll start quickly...
