Needed: flash for dummies - a template for HTML snippet

I am a dummy when in comes to code. I understand that iWeb '08 uses "HML Snippets" and by using them, you can add flash movies (.flv or .swf) to your iWeb '08 created site.
What I (and apparently many other dummies) need is a step by step set of instructions on how to modifiy an HTML template and where to put the flash files to get them to work.
<http://web.mac.com/wyodor/Embed_Media/Embed.html> provides useful HTML templates, but they leave many unanswered questions that dummies, like me, have no clue about. Here is the template for .flv files with my questions in CAPITALS.
Object for Flash movies with player.
The outer object is for Safari.
The inner object is for Firefox/Camino.
This sample uses a Flash player. There are several Flash players around you can use.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="260"CHANGE WIDTH AND HEIGHT TO DIMENSIONS OF MY FLASH MOVIE-YES? codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab #version=8,0,0,0">

<param name="kioskmode" value="false" />
<param name="cache" value="true" />
<param name="scale" value="tofit" />
</object>
</object>
IF YOU INCLUDE THE FLASH MOVIE IN THE iWEB FILES FOR THAT PAGE, IS THERE A WAY TO INDICATE THAT THE PATH TO THEM IS SHORTER THAN THE WHOLE HTTP//...?
I have read all the postings and gone to all the sites and attempted doing what they seem to say and I am still having no luck. I hope someone will take the time to explain to dummies like me how to do this. I used iWeb because I thought it would be simple.

Remember, I am a dummy.
The path I gave to files is an invention, not the actual path I am using, but that is not the problem (I suspect). I have eliminated the parameters ending in false. Will that mean that the controller shows up? That the movies does not loop?
Should the question mark not be there or is it required? I have no idea what it does.
My understanding (or misunderstanding) was that this code has two parts to address playback on various browsers. Is that true or is it just redundant?
Here is what I have now. If you could just make necessary changes and post, that would probably be the biggest help. The "piecemeal" approach leaves me with more questions. Thanks for all the help.

  • Flash SWF file not playing as HTML snippet!?

    Any Flash gurus out there? I'm trying to get a SWF flash file to play as a HTML snippet but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Artotems Flash code within the snippet. The SWF file was encoded using Flash v9.0 and it plays on it's own when I open it the file directly from a web browser. However, when it's referenced from my website through iWeb nothing shows up!? Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the code I'm using. Maybe you gurus can tell me if my syntax is incorrect?

    You're not using the full URL to the file.
    You have "/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv" in both instances where it should be...
    "http://www.websitename.com/Media/knowledgereignssupreme.flv"
    You can also open it with a simple iFrame code like at the bottom of this page......

  • Lastest Flash (16.0.0.305) is installed but Firefox still says I need Flash for most videos. Why?

    I have installed flash multiple times, restarted Firefox, and everything I can think of but every time I come to a page that uses flash player it STILL Says I need Flash player to see the video or whatever is using flash. This has been going on for a while now since the last Firefox update.

    In your More System Details, there is a mystery line that just says "Flash" while the official line says "Shockwave Flash". Could you use by test page to generate a list of the full information for each plugin so it's easier to figure out which one is the stranger?
    http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp
    Scroll down a bit to the plugin list. It's the "Description" line that will say just "Flash". What is the name of the plugin?

  • Still Need Flash for Android 4.0

    I don't know what's going on or why it's now labeled that it's not available for my country on Google Play, but I still need it for my NEW Android Tablet.
    Much like other things in life, we still need what we still need.  How do I get it downloaded for my Galaxy Tab 2?  Even the description left at Google Play says it's for up to Android 4.0.  That's what I have.  Yet it won't allow me to download/install it. 
    Without it, I cannot play any video's from specific web sites, like Amazon.  So what are people like me supposed to do?  I know the file still has to exist somewhere, so why can't I still get it in some archived form like older versions of Flash for PC's??

    Hopefully this FAQ will help:

  • Get with the times Adobe!  We need Flash for 64 bit OS!

    I HATE using 2 browsers.  The 32 bit browser in Win 7 is horrible and crashes to much and leaves 48 instances of it open after its closed.  The 64 bit version works GREAT.  Get with the times and release a 64 bit version already.

    +1  ... using Win7, I use 32-bit browser for Flash content and 64-bit browser for everything that matters.
    How about directx 11 support while you're at it...    cheers

  • Flash for zynga n Facebook gameeeeeeeeeee helppp

    How to play zynga n Facebook game free on iPad.
    I need flash for zynga game n Facebook game all in.
    Thx
    Helppp

    The 'official' Facebook app says :
    Play games on the go: Access your favorite Facebook apps and games, wherever you are
    Whether it works with that game I don't know.
    In terms of flash on the iPad, Adobe have stopped development on the all mobile versions of their flash player - so it's doubtful that it will ever be supported on iOS devices.

  • Adding Statcounter code with HTML Snippet

    On an earlier thread, someone posted a message that they could add the Statcounter code using an HTML Snippet. Does anyone know how to do that (and make sure it gets put in the right location)?
    Thanks,

    You can add statcounter using HTML Snippet.
    but if you need statcounter to track different pages then HTML Snippet will give you bad results.
    Because when you add statcounter code or any code for that matter, iweb adds the code to another page aka widget(#)_markup.html and links these pages to you target pages by way of iframe element. (unless iweb'09 does thing differently, but I doubt it)
    example: let say you have twenty pages and add statcounter to each of them, you will see the results point to widget(#)_markup pages and not your page URL.
    You came get away with all that if you know javascript (statcounter code is javascript).
    I've been doing this for years, here is my example: http://home.cyclosaurus.com/Welcome.html
    scroll all the way to the bottom, see that iweb look-a-like hit counter? it's a statcounter!
    So, how are you with javascript?

  • Scriptable mail client with good support for html and flash

    Hi,
    on one hand I'm looking for the uzbl/luakit/.. equivalent in the mail client world: I want a very high level of control over how mails are fetched, filtered, displayed, scripts, keybinds, etc etc.
    On the other hand I also want the client to handle html mails properly, even when they include html5 sound/video clips and/or flash widgets/videos.
    This might sound ironic, but I use rss2email to get all my newsfeeds delivered to my mailbox.  I think this makes a lot of sense, a centralized repository for all the messages I want to get.
    But those newsposts often contain html5 and flash widgets, which I want to be able to use from inside the mailclient.
    Also I expect usage of the xdg basedir spec and sane use of files (a simple text config file, and maximum a few binary files for caches/indexes etc)
    A good search system based on sup/notmuch/xapian would also be welcome.
    I just can't find a mail client like this.  Any suggestions?  Maybe anything that's close, so I could hack it a bit myself?
    Claws-mail is the least sucky client I could find, but still it doesn't give me the advanced scriptability, it makes a mess in my homedir and doesn't support html5/flash.

    Thid may take you a bit away from your current setup, but if you have used sup you shouldn't be too scared ;D
    Ive started using mutt a while back, and if properly configured it can do a _lot_ of things and very well at that too!
    Anyway, to answer your post:
    1) Mutt can be configured to retieve your rss feeds, so you dont need to use rss2email and still get a centralilsed repo for your email and rss and, you will be able to keep your email account uncluttered with rss mail (but thats personal preference).
    2) Intrinsically, like all CLI mail clients, butt doesnt show html/html5 or embedded flash in email. /BUT/ you can configure it to use a differen program to handle this automatically.
    So, you will be able to get say uzbl, or jumanji or surf (if you're into your lightweight browsers) to open those multimedia emails. Edit: it seems you will probably have to use links2, but you may be able to use other clients (they will have to open as a seperate application though, whilst links2 is able to stay embedded. Maybe this can be done with the other browsers but I haven't tried nor researched this.
    Generally as: (in .muttrc)
    # enriched messages
    auto_view text/html # view html automatically
    alternative_order text/plain text/enriched text/html # but save it for last
    Credit for that snippet goes to something i found on dotfiles. If I ever find the author's name, I shall edit it in here.
    You will also need to create a .mailcap file with the relevant data. A basic google search reveals some good tutorials for this.

    Need instructions for downloading/installing Flash Player in my PC

    Hi, This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall link:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    This is the Adobe Troubleshooting Guide which you may want also to review. I would suggest using the Manual Installers which you can download and SAVE to your Desktop. Pay attention to any apps using Flash, you may need to Disable any Anti-Virus. Be sure to use the Administrator Account and check Settings. Be sure to Reboot after running the Uninstaller and also after Installing.
