I agree with LadynRed, you can't always rely on the tools to do things for you. I find they add messy, unnecessary code.

Great article on embedding flash... I wish I had this information about 3 months ago when I was beating my head against the wall trying to get my flash movie to work on all browsers.

Top notch... keep these articles coming.

Ok, I have an issue. I want valid video, but for whatever reason I cannot seem to have it the way I want.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <title>Video test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="video">
      <object type="video/x-ms-wmv" data="videofile.wmv" width="320" height="180" >
        <p><a href="videofile.wmv">The video</a></p>
      </object>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
It works, but not the way I want. In Opera I do get the control bar, in Firefox however, I do not.
I tried adding
Code:
<param name="controller" value="true" />
but that changed nothing.
Any ideas, or is this some kind of Firefox setting? Because once the video is done, the only way I can get to replay in Firefox is to hit reload (AKA a "replay=reload page" button).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

All of those would be less than desirable 'solutions' to the problem.

There's something to be said for a good tool. Tools are important, tools make jobs easier. But let me give you this analogy to continue what LadynRed touched on.

A common worker with a great tool can build a house.

A master craftsman with the same tool can build a castle.

Yes, tools are good and tools should be used. But if you know the code that the tool is building, you can tweak that code to be exactly what you want while maintaining coding standards. If you don't, you get whatever code the program churns out whether its right for that application or not.

Great sites are built on good ideas and clean, valid code.

If you're only interested in using tools and don't care about the code, make your pages in Word and export them as HTML.

If the whole would just download the new version of quicktime ... and ditch wmv all together ... or better yet if there was only 1 computer with 1 set of programs and we all had access to it ...

Here is the method we use:

There's 2 parts... an external JS file and the call within your HTML page:
Save the following code as an external file (in this example I called it 'flashfix.js' within a directory called 'js')
---------------------------------------------------
function ieFix(filePath, theHeight, theWidth, varName, cookieVar, bgColor) {
document.write('<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub...ersion=7,0,0,0" width="' + theWidth + '" height="' + theHeight + '" id="' + filePath + '" align="middle">\n');
document.write('<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">\n');
document.write('<param name=movie VALUE="' + filePath + '.swf">\n');
document.write('<param name=quality VALUE=high>\n');
document.write('<param name="flashvars" value="' + varName + '=' + cookieVar + '">\n');
document.write('<param name=scale VALUE=noborder>\n');
document.write('<param name=menu VALUE=false>\n');
document.write('<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />\n');
document.write('<param name=bgcolor VALUE=#' + bgColor + '>\n');
document.write('<embed id="flash" src="' + filePath + '.swf" wmode="transparent" quality="high" flashvars="' + varName + '=' + cookieVar + '" bgcolor="#' + bgColor + '" width="' + theWidth + '" height="' + theHeight + '" name="' + filePath + '" align="center" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">\n');
document.write('</object>\n');
}
---------------------------------------------------

Then add the JS file within <head></head> tags:
---------------------------------------------------
<script src="js/flashfix.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
---------------------------------------------------

And finally the call within your HTML:
---------------------------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript">ieFix('flash_movie',500,800,'','','fff fff');</script>
---------------------------------------------------

Set both 'varName' and 'cookieVar' to '' - they are used only if you are passing variables to Flash

Don't include '.swf' in the filePath
