How to use the Simply Video Player

Web-ready SWF

With the provided SWF file and sample HTML all you have to do is move a couple files around then copy and paste some code to get videos embedded on your webpage. Follow these steps:

  1. Connect to your web host using your favorite FTP software.
  2. Copy the provided flash folder and its contents into the root directory of your website, so the file path looks like this: www.example.com/flash/
  3. Copy your FLV or MP4 video into the same “flash” folder.
  4. Open the provided index.html file in your favorite text editor along with the html file for the webpage you want to add video to.
  5. First, copy and paste the code in the <head>. Then copy and paste <div> where you want it to show up on the page.
  6. Modify the code you pasted in the <head>. You will need to add your video’s filename and modify width and height to match your videos dimensions. There are comments in the HTML to help guide you along.
  7. Test it. If it doesn’t work, double check all your file paths, and try again.

Flash CS3 Component

If you own Flash CS3 you should install the Simply Video component. Once installed you can drag it directly to the stage or link it from the library to access it from your ActionScript 3 application.

To install, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have Adobe Extension Manager installed.
  2. Double-click on the “SimplyVideo.mxp” file.
  3. It should open in Extension Manager. If so, follow the steps on-screen.
  4. Restart Flash and it should now be available in the “RefreshLab” folder in the Component panel.
