I see a lot of people asking how to play flash video on their website. I also see a whole lot of very confusing answers.
I must say that after working it out one time, it is not as difficult as some say.
The first step is to download Flowplayer at http://flowplayer.org/download/index.html
Their website will explain what to do with the files, but in a nutshell – you extract the files from the zipped download and upload the folder of files to your webserver. You will probably rename the folder “example” to something of your own choice. It doesn’t matter as long as you insert the correct path into the code for your website.
You are then given three seperate pieces of code that you modify slightly with the correct path to your files at your server.
One of these goes into the “head” area of the HTML for your webpage. The other two go into the body. The location in the page HTML of the code will determine where the video shows on the page.
That’s it. Don’t believe all that garbage about it not being possible. The big thing to consider is this – video files are big and consume server storage and also a big bunch of traffic to view the video will demand much more bandwidth (the amount of work your server does for you).
Yes – you can add FLV Flash video to your website.

These are my modified lines of code for my particular website
Place In Head Section for scripts
<script src=”http://www.your-home-energy.com/flowplayer/myvideo/flowplayer-3.1.1.min.js”></script
Load Your FLV Video file into Flowplayer main folder – Place this code in your webpage
<a href=”http://www.your-home-energy.com/flowplayer/myvideo/greenenergy.flv“ style=”display:block;width:425px;height:300px;” id=”player”> </a>
Place this on the page where you want video to show
<script language=”JavaScript”> flowplayer(”player”, “http://www.your-home-energy.com/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.1.1.swf“); </script
