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:
- Connect to your web host using your favorite FTP software.
- 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/
- Copy your FLV or MP4 video into the same “flash” folder.
- 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.
- First, copy and paste the code in the <head>. Then copy and paste <div> where you want it to show up on the page.
- 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.
- Test it. If it doesn’t work, double check all your file paths, and try again.
Flash CS3 Component

- Double-click on the “SimplyVideo.mxp” file.
- It should open in Extension Manager. If so, follow the steps on-screen.
- Restart Flash and it should now be available in the “RefreshLab” folder in the Component panel.
