Needed: flash on iWeb '08 for dummies

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.

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.

Since you've read all the postings re Flash, you've probably seen this already; but just in case you haven't...

  • We Need "Flash 9 or 10" for the "WII"

    I doubt any one will be able to help me with this but we need
    to have "
    Flash 9 or 10" for the "
    Wii" but you need a "
    SDK" for them which won't work for the "
    Wii" because it can't run regular files so there needs to be
    a way "
    Adobe" could make a built in "
    SDK" for "
    Flash 9 or 10" like cell phones have.If cell phones can have
    Flash 9" why can't the "
    Wii" oh and don't forget the "
    PS3" "
    Browser" eh i think you know what im saying a little "
    Bribe" here a little "
    Bribe" there eh "Wink Wink" "
    Adobe" I think ya know what im saying eh "
    Adobe" Anyways im sure you have heard this before oh yeah
    and also the new "
    Wii" "
    Browser" is coming out so maybe there will be a surprise for
    us all..............NAH YEAH RIGHT so post what "you" want trash me

    There's nothing you can do but switch away from Flash and move on to CSS and Javascript for animation and HTML5 for the <video> tag, if you want the broadest audience to see your content.

  • Need T420 ThinkVantage Password Manager for Dummies

    OK.  I"m an idiot.  How is the password manager supposed to work?  The "help" section says this about making a new entry: When you type in a user name and password for the first time in a particular Web site or Web page that requires this information, Password Manager automatically displays the following prompt: "Would you like to save this Web Site with Password Manager?"
    I have created several new user names and passwords at sites since using this new computer, and I have yet to see the Password Manager ask any questions.  What am I missing?

    you have to have at leased a windows password set before you can use it for web logins
    also in the settings make sure the check box is checked
    your will look different

    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.

    There is no "flash player similar to Adobe Flash Player". Flash is a proprietary Adobe product. There is currently no version of Flash for iOS.

  • Do you need Flash Player for projector files?

    We are about to distribute some CDs with our website on them
    (which uses XML). I've published projector files for Mac and PC and
    they work fine on my computer. We just want to make sure everyone
    will be able to view the projectors, even if they don't have Flash
    Player on their system weather it be a Mac or PC.
    Thanks so much!

    When you make a projector the player is bundled into it. Your
    users do not
    need Flash player.

  • I need flash player for iPad 2 what's available out there?

    I need flash player for iPad 2, what's currently out there ?

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
    If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject.

  • Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

    So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."  I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even  uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

  • 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?

    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?
