Embeding a NON YouTube Video into a Flash Website

[GuyDG]

Ok, so I have designed a site completely with AS2 and just recently came to this problem. I need to have a video from another website load on mine but I don''t have the raw file. The following is the embed code from the original posting on the other site.

<object width="460" height="385" id="limelight_player_638565o" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://video.limelight.com/player/loader.swf"/><param name="wmode" value="window"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="flashvars" value="autoplay=true&amp;shareCurrent=media%2Cchannel&amp;playerForm=970b04aff67e429cb368c5d19cfb9a39&amp;adConfigurationChannelId=6b751b7ab5c144a4a1f5a0ec239383a4&amp;autoSkipNextClip=false&amp;mediaId=20d7adc57ac54b65980831f74563e61b&amp;share=link%2Cemail%2Cembed"/><embed src="http://video.limelight.com/player/loader.swf" name="limelight_player_638565e" wmode="window" width="460" height="385" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="autoplay=true&amp;shareCurrent=media%2Cchannel&amp;playerForm=970b04aff67e429cb368c5d19cfb9a39&amp;adConfigurationChannelId=6b751b7ab5c144a4a1f5a0ec239383a4&amp;autoSkipNextClip=false&amp;mediaId=20d7adc57ac54b65980831f74563e61b&amp;share=link%2Cemail%2Cembed"></embed></object>

Is it somehow possible using this to have the video load on my flash site or do I have to get the footage from them to get it to load due to protection or something?

Thanks

Hi,

Not sure what you mean really, but this works for me, IE and Firefox

<!--[if IE]>-->
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="460" height="385" id="limelight_player_638565o">

you may need to ask permission from them if that's what you mean, look on their site about hot linking and using their vids!!

fruitbeard: Unless I am mistaken there is no way or place I can just paste the html embed code I pasted above into a site that is a flash site. And when I say Flash site I don't mean a site with flash elements but a site that has been completely built in flash.

Here, this tutorial is closest to what I am trying to accomplish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y26X3-p_QY

The problem is I am not using a YouTube video as shown, but limelight instead it would appear.

Hi,

Basically the guy has just found out the address to some youtube videos and copied them over into his loadMovie command, so you must find these addresses and do the same, or capture the videos using some flv downloader software, I was looking through limelight and the links you have, the videos seem pretty embedded.

The closest I got to anything at all was this

System.security.allowDomain( 'http://video.limelight.com/' );
loadMovie("http://video.limelight.com/player/loader.swf?mediaId=20d7adc57ac54b65980831f74563e61 b",this);

or


System.security.allowDomain( 'http://s.delvenetworks.com' );
loadMovie("http://s.delvenetworks.com/deployments/flash-player/flash-player-5.11.4.swf?mediaId=20d7adc57ac54b65980831f74563e61 b",this);

no space between last 1 and b of url

I already made this for my church library's website. The only issue is chrome not showing the video, because chrome use a bult-in version of flash player called Pepper Flash...in orther to view the video, you have to navigate to chromelugins, and disable the pepper flash, and enable there Adobe flash player, but that's not practical. I have to give it a try now to see if chrome had addressed this issue. In the meanwhile, i will be working on it these days, to see if I can achieve it with AS3. I will post the AS3 code so you give it a try too
