O.P. Embedding .flv file into a website
I need help on embedding a .flv file into a website. I have tried the following two codes to no avail:
code:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://media.dreamhost.com/ufo.js"></script>
<p id="simpsons_CUT.flv"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
var FO = { movie:"http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv",width:"575",height:"400",majorversion:"7",build:"0",bgcolor:"#FFFFFF",
flashvars:"file=http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false" };
UFO.create(FO,"simpsons_CUT.flv");
</script>
</body>
</html>
and
code:
<html>
<body>
<div id="mvcontainer"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv","ply","320","260","9","#FFFFFF");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
s1.addParam("flashvars","file=http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flvℑ=https://media.dreamhost.com/mp4/preview.jpg");
s1.write("mvcontainer");
lt;/script>
</body>
</html>
The file is located at http://www.th3rmal.com/dana/simpsons/simpsons_CUT.flv
With the first code, the movie doesnt seem to load at all, while with the second code, the error of "Get Flash Player" seems to come up.
Any help would be appreciated  You have the intellect comparable to that of a rock. Be proud. |

RE: Embedding .flv file into a website
You need a player to play the video... look at the examples on the DreamHost wiki and notice how they link to a .swf file where you're linking directly to the .flv.  |

RE: Embedding .flv file into a website
The problem is that you replaced the player URL (highlighted in blue below) with the URL of your flv file... try changing it back.
code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://media.dreamhost.com/ufo.js"></script>
<p id="sample.flv"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
var FO = { movie:"https://media.dreamhost.com/mediaplayer.swf",width:"320",height:"240",majorversion:"7",build:"0",bgcolor:"#FFFFFF",
flashvars:"file=https://media.dreamhost.com/sample.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false" };
UFO.create(FO,"sample.flv");
</script>
You could also upload a flash video player to your own site if you don't want to use DreamHost's copy. |

ALL flv players that use Flash suck. Period.
Suggestion: Use DivX Web Player.
