I can't get flv files to work. Are they unsupported? I have taken care of what I need to in IIS but the editor does not seem to like them.

FLV is Flash Video, as used on Youtube and Google vids and just about everywhere these days. FLV files don't play themselves however. They need a player... here's one: http://flowplayer.org/

You embed it all like this:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="FlowPlayer.swf"
    width="320" height="263" id="FlowPlayer">
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"/>
  <param name="movie" value="FlowPlayer.swf"/>
  <param name="quality" value="high"/>
  <param name="scale" value="noScale"/>
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
  <param name="flashvars" value="videoFile=your.flv&autoPlay=true"/>
  <param name="flashvars" value="videoFile=your.flv"/>
</object>

FCK can insert the player as an object, but to make it play your FLV file, you need to upload that as a file and then adjust the parameters of the flash object to suit. What FCK would need is an interface for setting the parameters of the player.

Jack... I'd have a look on the FCK forums and see if there's some discussion about it. I imagine they'd be looking into extending the FCK Flash Properties dialogue to suit. http://www.fckeditor.net/forums/

There's also Bizmodules' very nice Ultra Video Gallery module if you're planning on hosting a lot of videos. The module can convert videos to FLV either on the server or offline with a separate app.

Rob, would this allow my users to upload in any video format as do with uTube?
