I made a swf animation file with a player , like on youtube and I want to add it to my site , but when I add it with the following code , the are where the player should be turns white while the whole swf file downloads , I expected it to load at first the buttons and then progressivly load the movie (just like on youtube). Is there a solution ??
I add the following
<object classid="clsid:D697CDE7E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-458453540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cab ... on=4,0,0,0"
id="animation name" width="468" height="60">
<param name="movie" value="animationname.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<embed name="animationname" src="animationname.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
width="468" height="60"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... kwaveFlash">

Re: flash video player on web page
There is, but it's in Flash, I'm afraid. If you want something simple and fast, like youtube, try Flowplayer, it's open source, and quite awesome.
Otherwise, you'll need to add a "loading..." animation, or somehow tune the SWF to load progressively.
Good Luck!

Re: flash video player on web page
hey , thanks for yer' suggestion. I used once to think that flowplayer would be my solution but when I downloaded I got a bunch of some odd files with no reference. Is there any simple tutorial on flowplayer except the one I found on the flowplayer site?
Re: flash video player on web page
Code: Select all
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="FlowPlayer.swf"
width="320" height="262" id="FlowPlayer">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="FlowPlayer.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noScale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="flashvars" value="config={videoFile: 'content/turner_letter.flv', loop: false, showMenu: false,}" />
</object>The newer tutorials on the Flowplayer website are also pretty good, if you just read through them and follow the directions.

If you have any other questions, go ahead and post them. I've used flowplayer a decent amount, so hopefully I can help you get it working.
Good Luck,

P.S. I really need to find a good source for emoticons.
