Embedding Video into your Post!

so I just figured I would put this here so it will be easy to find and help alot of the Newbs (I mean that in an endearing manner)


to embed just copy the embed code from the actual youtube video

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sFm2h44Pu1c&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sFm2h44Pu1c&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

the Highlighted areas are what you want to copy and paste into the flash tags here in the forums

Code:

[flash=480,385]http://www.youtube.com/v/sFm2h44Pu1c&hl=en_US&fs=1&[/flash]

Voila! a beautifully Embedded video.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/sFm2h44Pu1c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/sFm2h44Pu1c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;</a>




This only works with flash videos of course but you can do it with any flash video site as long as you can get the source link and the video dimensions you can post the video.

Thats weird I normally use this part to embed

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sFm2h44Pu1c&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sFm2h44Pu1c&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Thats neat but I find it faster to just grab the whole url
and the first one but to each his own right?

Yeah your way does make more sense.
