Hi,

I'm looking for a tutorial on how to make a video viewable on a web site. Do you know of any? Also, I need the code to validate (if possible).

Thank you,
Gändälf

A quick and easy solution is to just post it on youtube, then take the video code

If actually want to embed the video without a youtube (or some other website) frame, it's more complicated...

It's currently on YouTube, but we want it on our server and played from our web site.

You put the video on your server and then out

HTML Code:

<embed src="Video src here" autostart="true" loop="false">

When you go to the video on youtube there is something that you can click on that will give you the html code. It is near the description, look around for it.

How to embed SWF file into an HTML page?

u can code the page like the following:

Code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="720" height="555">
<param name="movie" value=" mflvplayer.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="True" />
<embed src="mflvplayer.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="720" height="555" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="True">
</embed> 
</object>

Well, have you noticed the mflvplayer.swf in blue? Replace it with the SWF file you generated. Here you can also type in the URL of the SWF, such as http://www.myhomepage.com/mflvplayer.swf
The width="720" height="555" in black indicates the width and the height of your video.
You can add or reset the param name values to configure the video.

At last, upload the generated SWF and FLV files to the same folder together with this page. And you can enjoy it on your webpage now!
