  • Add Flash Videos to WordPress Blog

    Posted on July 15th, 2009 Toby 339 comments

    Whatever your reason for wanting to add falsh videos to your WordPress blog or website-maybe you just want to share videos with your friends or want to show some business websites to your potential customers-it’s very easy with WordPress and a couple of other tools.

    Tool One: Of course a WordPress account, go to www.wordpress.com and spend 5 minutes to register.

    Tool Two: A flash video downloader. If you don’t have any existing flash videos at hand, no worries, you may use this flash video downloader to download flash videos from internet. Here I recommend Leawo Youtube Download

    Tool Three: Moyea Web Player. Moyea Web Player is a WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get) program for customizing flash video player for website. It is very easy to use, with it, every single aspect of flash video player can be configured and previewed right away on graphical interfaces with a few mouse-clicks, no any coding needed. And the customized flash video player supports playing flash videos, streaming videos, live videos and SMIL presentations. It is mainly developed for web-designers and video hobbyists to build video sharing sites or add flash videos onto their websites or blogs for playing.

    The step-by-step tutorial below teaches exactly how to upload your favorite videos to WordPress blog, let’s have a look:

    Step 1: First upload the flash videos  that you want to play on your blog or website to a sever (e.g.: upload to blip.tv), and then get the link addresses.

    Step 2: Open Moyea Web player from Tool Three and click “Add URL” to input those flash videos’ link addresses which from Step 1.

    add flash video to moyea web player

    Step 3: Select a video to edit and all the following features will show in the playlist.

    a. Adjust the video order

    b. Capture pictures during video playing

    c. Rename video

    d. Type the address where the video will lead to after playing

    e. Type the address where the video will lead to when clicking

    edit video features in playlist

    Step 4: Click “Template” to preview the webplayer you have created so far. If you don’t like the default player skin, choose another one from the left panel.

    preview the customized flash video player

    Step 5: Click “Option” tab, then “User define area”, choose “none” to remove Embed and URL information on the screen.

    remove the unwanted information from the customized player

    Step 6: On “Publish” interface, choose a publish path, and then publish the customized player.

    publish the customized flash video player

    Step 7: Upload all the published files except the index.html file, to the same folder of a web server (you can easily search a free hosting on google). And then copy and past the embed code on the following interface into your blog.

    copy and paste the embed code onto WordPress

    Note: mwplayer.swf is the actual flash video player, and the swfobject.js is an adobe flash object file, you point to them with links.

    Then the player with the videos will show on your WordPress blog. Enjoy!

    • Thanks for given this useful post…

    • I keep listening to the news speak about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the best site to get one.

    • I have been searching for 3 days trying to find out how to place my own FLV movies and trailers to work in my website, I think finally you have provided the means and know how. Now all i need to do is put it to the test and if so go well i will be so ever grateful and indebted to Player DIY.com and company.

      Thank you for your in depth tutorials,hope it will work out for me!

    • Thanks for given this useful post.

    • Hey good stuff…keep up the good work! :)

    • Great site…keep up the good work.

    • Hi, I’ve been trying to figure out for months how to post a flash video on my wordpress blog. I love the idea of the moyea web player, but I’ve been trying over and over to get it to work and I can’t, every time i copy the code to my post, all i get is “Player will show here” and nothing else. I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong, or maybe there’s something extra I need to do, I’m not sure. But I would greatly appreciate it if someone could email me or get in touch with me and help me work this out. I would be soooooooo grateful forever! please help!!

    • Hi Natalie Alvarez,

      Our tech support will contact you to solve your problem soon.

    • Hey good stuff…keep up the good work! I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,)

      A definite great read…

    • You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.

    • Player will show here

      Hi Im trialling this but I have the same issue as the customer above. Mine is a WordPress website but I cant gte it to work on a post or page

    • Please make sure the following points:

      1. You have uploaded all the generated files except the index.html file, to the same folder of your web server. And all the files could be visited by any visitor through web browser. Note: Please make sure that the file names only include numbers and English letters and no other character.

      2. The path of “mwplayer” is correct in embed code. If mwplayer.swf resides in another directory, then point to it with a relative path (e.g. video/mwplayer.swf) or an absolute path (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/video/mwplayer.swf).

      You could refer to the tutorial at http://www.playerdiy.com/support/tutorial/customize-flash-video-player.html.

      If it still cannot work well, then please send us the URL of your player on website to support@playerdiy.com so that we could check for you.

      Thanks~

    • I was lucky enough to find your website through google. I have been searching all day for this information, Thank You.

    • I don’t usually reply to posts but I will in this case, great info…I will add a backlink and bookmark your site. Keep up the good work!

    • I m sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I’m also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past …but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!

    • I hate to bother you especially because you have gone through the effort to make such a detailed tutorial, but I am frustrated I have wasted half my day trying to figure this out.

      I was able to load a video on my site yesterday but today I cannot get it to work no matter what I do.

      All I get is “Player will show here” I also get an error in the corner of my browser saying there is an error with the page.

      I am going to try it again but if anyone could offer some advice I would appreciate it!

      Just to let you know I did load a video on the same site yesterday, so I now have two folders under my domain with different video files in them.

      Thank you!
      Howard
