Flash video display made simple with Flowplayer

This is not about encouraging people to put flash video everywhere on their site of course. Having a video the plays automatically on your homepage is one of the biggest mistakes you could make.

But then you might want to show videos at some point and you will need a good player to do that. Flowplayer is a free flash player that comes with a nice Javascript API that allow to easily embed flash videos in a any html tag.

Lets have a look at a code example (from the flowplayer documentation):

First define your html container, here a link for gracefull degradation purpose:

<a  
    href="http://player-e7.simplecdn.net/flowplayer.flv"  
    style="display:block;width:425px;height:300px;"  
    id="player"> 
</a>

Then a javascript call:

<script language="JavaScript"> 
flowplayer("player", "path/to/the/flowplayer-3.0.7.swf"); 
</script>

And that it, provided you have included the javascript fill in the header of your document of course. For more info and downloads got to Flowplayer.org
