Youtube-like code to embed external flash videos

[sakka]

Hello! I am working on a page that allows viewers to embed videos, much like Youtube, except the videos are hosted on our server. However, I know the player swf will cause trouble as it needs to be on the actual server that is playing the video and so on. Does anyone have any ideas how I could do this? Thank you... :)

Use absolute urls in your flash file and in your embed code meaning instead of using yoursite.swf you should use http://www.yoursite.com/yoursite.swf same goes with the flv files. This is how youtube does their way of embedding.

Do some research on crossdomain.xml files. You need it set up so that others can access your flash files properly too.
