Mini Mods - BB Code: Win/QuickTime/Real/Flash Media Embed

I am releasing this BB Code for you to use on your forums.

Some things to take note to customize it to your liking.

• change all 'width="320" height="240"' settings to your desire.
• change all autoplay or autostart to true if you want it to autoplay.
• change all 'param name='loop'' to true if you want it to loop.
• change all align="center" to align="right/left" in this bit of code to align it however you want '<table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">'

Alright, now to the BB Code.

*I know there may be exploits especially with FLASH media types, so use these BB Codes at your own risk.

Thank you, and please click Install.

I installed this to play flash videos hosted on the same site as the forums. That works and displays the video fine. However I don't have any play or pause buttons to control the video. I have a program that can create a flv file with a swf menu with the play buttons, etc, but I can't figure out how to embed that menu into the code.

This program gives me the html code and I've messed with it as much as I can, but have reached my limited knowledge of this code. Here's the html code it gives me...

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" 	codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="320" 	height="240" 	id="player" align="middle">

<param name="movie" value="player.swf?file=test3.flv&size=false&aplay=false&autorew=false&title="/>

<param name="menu" value="false"/>

<param name="quality" value="high"/>

<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"/>

<embed src="player.swf?file=test3.flv&size=false&aplay=false&autorew=false&title=" menu="false" quality="high" 	bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="320" height="240" name="player" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" 	type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/>

</object>

I've tried to replace my test movie (test3.flv) with {param} and all I get is a white box with no video. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

[Steve993]

Bump for any help?

[legionofangels]

It would be nice if there was a code for something like MSNBC or something, or are they just considered Windows Media Player files?

Because that would be nice. Lemme know.

[eddy315west]

anyway you can make one for www.simtube.com thanks

[Ramya108]

Thank you very much!
I used flashed bbcode and it works perfectly, both in IE and Firefox.

I adjusted the width and height parameters.
