Adding videos from YouTube
« on: July 21, 2010, 21:31:50 »
Just FYI, if you want to post the actual video from YouTube on here, this is what I do: 
  • Click <Embed> button (found under the YouTube video).
  • Copy all the Embed Code.
  • Paste it into the Message box here.
  • Click the Flash button .
  • Replace the two numbers in the flash tag with the object width and height, respectively, from the Embed Code. (I.E. If the start of the Embed Code is <object width="480" height="385">, the opening flash tag would be [flash=480,385])
  • Copy the URL that is in the value for param "movie" and paste that inside the flash tag. (I.E. If this is from the Embed Code <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/urlgobbledygook">, the flash tag should end up like this" [flash=480,385]http://www.youtube.com/urlgobbledygook[/flash]
  • Test it by using Preview then delete the Embed Code that was pasted in from YouTube if everything is working.

Funny, I don't remember the Explore-a-Shore arena from any Motal Combat I ever played.  Must be a hidden bonus level. ;D

Yeah, it's a pretty cool "bonus level" there... I wonder if Chris could add some matching audio into that.  ;)

If you're wanting to post videos from YouTube, they've changed their code to use iframes. That source URL doesn't work for this. We need to use the "Use Old Embed Code" option on YouTube to get the code what we need now.
