standby="Loading Microsoft Windows? Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" width="280" height="256">
<param name="fileName" value="MOVIE NAME HERE">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-450">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="MOVIE NAME HERE" name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=256 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-450>
</object>

Thats what I use for the bb code originally, here is it when it is going into:

<object id="MediaPlayer1" CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
standby="Loading Microsoft Windows? Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" width="280" height="256">
<param name="fileName" value="{param}">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-450">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="{param}" name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=256 autostart=1 showcontrols=1 volume=-450>
</object>

and then put the brackets as like movies:

so when you put your avi or mpg or whatever in, it will look like:

[movie]myawesomemovie.avi[/movie]

Thanx Kindly for the quick reply

The code has been written by my web master, BUT I could not remember what to wrap the file with. So yo have covered the avi but what would i wrap swf files with?

Cheers
