So I needed to embed some flash files for the boss, but my old script was no longer working for IE8/9 (didn’t test on 7, since who uses that anyway?) Firefox and Chrome were working just fine. Argh.
<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='300' height='300' id='player1' name='player1'> Â Â <param name='movie' value='player.swf'> Â Â <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'> Â Â <param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'> Â Â <param name='flashvars' value='file=playlist.xml'> Â Â <embed id='player1' Â Â Â Â Â name='player1' Â Â Â Â Â src='player.swf' Â Â Â Â Â width='300' Â Â Â Â Â height='300' Â Â Â Â Â allowscriptaccess='always' Â Â Â Â Â allowfullscreen='true' Â Â Â Â Â flashvars="file=playlist.xml" Â Â /> </object>
So I went ahead and found that code. I ended up using WinFF to convert an m4v file to a web-based flv, then I used the jwplayer as my swf, and file=filename.flv as my flv.
