Add flash video ( FLV ) to website

[stephenz]

On internet, there are more and more people ask questions like "How can I add flash videos to my website?", "How can I embed a flash video(FLV) into my web page?", "How to insert an abobe flash video into frontpage?" Here, I will give a step-by-step user guide to solve these problems.

Step-by-step User Guide:

Step 1. Download Moyea Web Player from http://www.playerdiy.com/, install and launch it. Moyea web player (it is free) is a flash video player maker that provides quick and easy solution to add videos to web pages and embed a skinnable flash video player to website.

Step 2. Add videos into Moyea Web Player (Moyea Web Player offers a free flv encoder to convert the unaccepted videos to flash videos)



Step 3. Moyea Web Player publishes some files like a swf file named mwplayer.swf and a html file named index.html

Step 4. Upload all the published files to the same folder of your website.

Step 5. Embed the generated player onto your webpage with the embed code below (you can get it on the generated index.html file):

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent">Player will show here</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('mwplayer.swf','player','500','450','9');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addParam('quality','high');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.write("flashcontent");
</script> 

Note: 1. mwplayer.swf is the actual flash video player. If it resides in another directory, then point to it with a relative path (e.g. video/mwplayer.swf) or an absolute path (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/video/mwplayer.swf ).

Then the flash videos will appear on your website.
