Embedding an FLV file

[swana]

Ok.. I've been through previous posts on flash....

I've got a video in flash flv format. I want it embedded in my page to to
play when users click on it or whatever...

The code i've got is as follows...

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="400" height="267" id="FLVPlayer">
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_2&streamName=oldfleet&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false" />
<embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"
flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_2&streamName=oldfleet&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=false"
quality="high" scale="noscale" width="400" height="267" name="FLVPlayer"
salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

If i preview the page in IE i get a white square which says click to start
video but nothing happens?

The video im linking to is called oldfleet.flv

Swana,

Perhaps you should convert your .flv to a .swf file. Here's some info
about .flv and how it can be played: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLV

Would this make a difference converting it to .swf ??

Swana,

It should make a difference as far as how the image looks, but it might
allow more viewers to understand it.

check that your server has the flv mime type set.
