    Flash videos

    Hey everyone,

    I'm trying to insert a flash video in my content. I uploaded an FLV file in the media section and selected it in TinyMCE.

    <object width="260" height="200" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../media/732/very-dramatic-chipmunk.flv" style="width: 260px; height: 200px;">
    <param value="http://localhost/media/732/very-dramatic-chipmunk.flv" name="data">
    <param value="../media/732/very-dramatic-chipmunk.flv" name="src">
    </object>

    That's the HTML that gets generated by TinyMCE. But it shows nothing on my page. Keeps saying "movie not loaded" or something along those lines. So, how do I get this working?

    Kind regards,

    Ferdy

    Hi!

    Try replacing the data-attribute on the object-tag with the same value as the param has. You'll notice that the object data-attribute has "../" in front of the path.
    If you navigate to this path, what do you get as response?

    Thanks for the response Patrik, but I fear I already tried that. When navigating to the path it wants to download the FLV as expected.

    Hi Ferdy

    How are you inserting the flv.file in TinyMCE? Are you using a macro, pasting in some code in the HTML editor or using the build in functionality "Insert / edit embedded media"?

    If you are just looking for a nice and easy way of inserting flv-videos on your site(also in the editor), you can try out the great package "Insert Video". The package uses flowplayer as the player of the video, and it makes it easy for the end user to insert a video on their site.

    I am inserting it via the TinyMCE media plugin. But I found my problem. For some reason I thought FLV's could be run out of the box, but you need a player (like Flowplayer) to get them to run... I feel like an idiot -_-
