What’s the correct way to embed an .flv file?

by mnhugos . Updated 16 years ago

I have an .flv file which I want to embed within an html file. I’ve copied/pasted the object/embed code many times and from many different places, but with no luck. It’s probably something very simple, but I don’t know what variable I’m getting wrong.
The code I’ve copied/pasted is:







I have so many questions: Is the version number wrong, since version 10 is out now? Do I need a copy of the player on my own server, or will it grab and download from adobe server? If the width & height dimensions aren’t right, will it thwart playing of the video? Every example I’ve found uses a .swf extension…do I need that instead of .flv? What is the href parameter in the embed…the flash player, or my movie?

Thanks so much for any help you can give.
