Just curious...Flash

[YmoBeThere]

Thanks for the tutorial, that's great. I'm not playing the video. That is my single most hated song of all time.

Wow, lucky guess by me.

Well, I could have PW'ed my way through a second attempt. Fortunately, I'm a better person than that.

It's obvious, this opens up a plethora of possibilities:

Read the title of this thread (and didn't bother reading any of the posts other than to see that its about Flash on computers), but my first thought was FLASH GORDON.

Can't wait for Shammrog to show back up and tell us what his first thought was.

I must have been channelling Shammrog, because I think I had his first thought.

Regarding DukeUsul's post: That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw this thread. Then I thought of Flesh Gordon.

Flesh? Calling Shammrog.

I'm not sure how anyone is going to confuse that with the original Flash Gordon.

To post an embedded video via Flash:

1) Click on the FLASH button
2)You'll get the following:

Code: Select all

[flash=][/flash] 

3) Paste the URL for the video you are linking to between the two flash messages. From youtube, I copied the following:

Code: Select all

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iQDiKGRut80&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iQDiKGRut80&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

From this, you need to keep: http://www.youtube.com/v/iQDiKGRut80&hl=en&fs=1&

4) After the = sign after the first flash enter the dimensions of the video, it will often be included in what you have copied and pasted. In this case above, you would use the values 425,344 thusly flash=425,344.

5) With all that done, you would get the following from the above:

How do you get the part showing the size? I tried clicking on view page source and view page info and properties, but none of that shows that long code line with the width and height numbers. Thanks.

Most YouTube videos come in standard sizes, so that makes them relatively easy. All my experience has been with YT, there are lots of other sites out there but I haven't tried them out. Perhaps the site you are trying to link to has some FAQ's?

Okay, here's the YouTube video I was trying to do.

I can't find anything with the size anywhere. I tried the size you used, but all I got was a white rectangle on my screen. Show me, oh wise one!

See the part in the code where it says:

Code: Select all

<object width="425" height="344">

The size is 425,344. So you'd enter:

Code: Select all

[flash=425,344]http://www.youtube.com/v/iQDiKGRut80&hl=en&fs=1&[/flash]

They have embedding disabled on that video. So, you can't do it.
