Help:Flash Video Embedding

Add externally hosted Flash Video to an article: You may link to hosted flash videos, like those found on Youtube or Google Video, by using the xflash tag. For example, a Youtube video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhkDBfBTKuw would be linked as <xflash>http://www.youtube.com/v/YhkDBfBTKuw</xflash>; a Google Video @ http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5752383157717584836 would be linked as <xflash>http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=5752383157717584836</xflash>. This has only been tested with YouTube and Google Video to date. If you have some issue trying to use Flash video from other hosts, do not hesitate to contact us.
Add uploaded Flash Video (.flv) to an article: <flvplayer>Uploaded Filename.flv</flvplayer> For example, <flvplayer width="400" height="400" autoplay="true" hidecontrols="true">filename.flv</flvplayer> starts playing the movie as soon as it is available for streaming and does not show any FlowPlayer controls to the user. For another example, <flvplayer width="400" height="400" loop="true">filename.flv</flvplayer> Automatically sets the movie in looping mode as soon as it starts playing.

You may use any of the following attributes:

  • width=px or % (Specify the width of the movie when displayed)
  • height=px or a% (Specify the height of the movie when displayed)
  • loop=true/false (Loop the movie, default:true)
  • autoplay=true/false (Automatically start playing the movie, default:false)
  • hidecontrols=true/false (Hide the controls of FlowPlayer, default:false)
