Today I learned how to embed a Flash video on a web page. It was pretty easy after we converted the WMV file to a Flash video (.flv). The key was to get a Flash player for the web site, which we found here:
It’s a free, open-source package which makes it simple to embed Flash movies on your web site. I was impressed with how quickly we got the video up and going. It involved adding a javascript file and then a call to the player:
<script type="text/javascript" src="flowplayer-3.1.4.min.js"></script>
<a href="Galapagos-3m-30-full.flv" style="display:block;width:450px;height:330px" id="player">
</a>
<script>
flowplayer("player", "flowplayer-3.1.5.swf");
</script>
That was it! Nice and easy. Thanks to Boutell.com for pointing me in the right direction.
