thanks

I don't understand why people need to work with codes while you can easily add whatever video or audio to your site in graphic interface - Frontpage - Macromedia Flash or whatever

Gee.. because WYSIWYG programs use the (bad) <embed> tag, and the point here is to NOT use it !

I TOTALLY agree re: putting music on a website, but my client is insisting despite my recommendation. Gotta make the client happy. . .

I am agree to you friend and i am also think it is only one solution to
you for flash so please try it in your script ,track how long you spend on the current page

Thank .... I never add this to my website before

So if we are to add Flash to our websites in the future what would we used instead of the <embed> tag? Also bear in mind that the user wouldn't want to click on the flash once to activate following MS altering IE a while ago.

Try reading the FIRST post in this thread. The answer is there and oddly enough is the very reason this thread was created and "stickied" to the top of the forum.

Oops - my bad! I shall have a good read of that over the weekend when I need to change around some flash markup amongst other things.

Thanks much for sharing this. I would have used the Embeded tagg

Don' know how everyone else does it, but I've setup my scripting for placing flash moview on pages like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','WIDTH','hei ght','HEIGHT','src','swfmovie','quality','high','p luginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movi e','swfmovie' ); //end AC code </script><noscript>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="swfmovie.swf" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT">
<param name="movie" value="swfmovie.swf" />
</object>
</noscript>

The first part of the code references a javascript file, Dreamweaver CS3 created this file and its use is to avoid having to enable the flash movie in IE. After that the object type is used to call in the flash mvie. Tested and works in all browsers perfectly fine.

The problem with DW's code is that I've found it causes problems at times. The beauty of a method like swfObject is you NEVER see that <embed> tag at all - unlike DW.

can we use flv for online streaming

There is a very good site to check whenever you get stuck with html and it is http://www.w3schools.com , however, the following link takes you to the exact page you are looking for i think... it focuses on flash however it's not that different for audio and video files..

Hope it helps

Great Knowledge for me. Now i can add video clip on my personal blog.

Open the HTML page where you want to insert your Flash movie. Insert this code:

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>


2) option is add flash or movie using dreamweaver just choose option add flash .
dremweaver will automatically design code.

The first will not validate and is NOT recommended, the point of this entire thread
The 2nd doesn't always work and STILL includes that awful <embed>. Letting DW do ANYTHING on its own is just a bad idea.

This actually helped my younger brother in his high school web design class, thanks for posting this

That's great David, glad it got him on the right road
