Embeding FLASH Movies

» helper2 - Advanced Options for Embedding Flash Movies

Though the basic idea of putting a Flash movie on a web page is essential, there are other methods that make the movie a bit more than a small area on your browser. Please note that not all movies are a candidate for the following expanded use of the browser.

The original embedding HTML code gives you an area for the movie of 500 pixels by 500 pixels:

<object width="500" height="500">
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf">
<embed src="filename.swf" width="500" height="500">
</embed>
</object>

Advanced embedding (uses 100% of the browser or 100% of the width of the table that you have placed the movie):

<OBJECT WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100%>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="filename.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<EMBED src="filename.swf" WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100% TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http: //www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

NOTE: An extra space was added after the "http:" of the PLUGINSPAGE link so that Suite101 did not truncuate the link -- you must remove this space.

The advanced method includes a link for the browser to automatically download Flash if it is not on the client (user) machine.

In response to message posted by helper2:

Thanks for posting the message. I have written width and height parameters in pixels only because in the start of article, it is clearly written that you are expected to be an HTML expert and any HTML expert is well aware of these things.

The second idea is good if the user has not already FLASH Plugin installed in his browser. I was already willing to add it.

I shall appreciate that you found time in reading my articles and hoping for further suggestions in future and previous articles.
