Embedding video in forum home or CMPS

That's great stuff thanks. I have it working as far as embedding a SWF file in a post. I also learned how to use HTML to embed the SWF file into a side column on forum home.
Here's the code if will help someone:
<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>
How do I incorporate the SWF file into a CMPS module?

mmmxiv, can you please explain how? I use AME to embed remotely hosted video and also some locally hosted video formats. But AME puts them in a player box and they don't autoplay. The SWF mod autoplays the file and also plays it endlessly. I'd prefer to embed FLV files and use streaming video if possible. I found FLV code to use with AME, here it is:
Upload flvPlayer.swf to your server.
In your Controlpanel go to your AME CP section then click: Add New Definition.
New Media Definition

</object>

But again this code will embed the video in a player box and will not autoplay.
