HI.

I created a SWF file in Flash8 with a video embadded, with a skin (one of those available in FLASH8). i inserted the SWF, with the video on it, in Dreamweaver using the insert Flash option. I then uploaded all the files (the .FLV one, the .SWF one and the SKIN.swf one) onto the server.

though it seems like everything i've done is the way it should have been done,when i view the page online, nothing happens. does anyone have an idea of how to sort this out?? this is the link to the page:

You're running the Active Content javascript fix provided by Adobe and currently its undefined on your page. I'd suggest trashing that worthless script and go with this one instead:

Hey,

Ran into the problem of running video clip on all browsers. Found that javascript is best way to launch. The following code (external js file) uses a popup to run the video clip:

function focus(){
window.open("Popup.html", "popupFields", "toolbar=0, location=0, status=0, menubar=0, scrollbars=0, resizable=1, width=610, height=430");
}


function insertMovie(){
document.write('<object width="585" height="385" border="2px" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0" align="middle">\n');
document.write('<param name="src" value="videoClipName.mpg" />\n');
document.write('<param name="controller" value="true" />\n');
document.write('<param name="autoplay" value="true" />\n');
document.write('<embed src="videoClipName.mpg" width="585" height="385" controller="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" align="middle" autoplay="true" bgcolor="black">\n');
document.write('</embed>\n');
document.write('</object>\n');
}

Hope this helps.
