How Do I insert a Avi and Swf file into a post

Hello one and all.

With our dear respected friend Hoxxy offline for a few days I am having a real hard time trying to sort out a few problems

Please bare with me being that I am "fresh" to the coding aspect of my forum.

I am trying to insert an avi video and (or) a swf file into the body of a post. I have had a friend take care of my interests in the past and he is on vacation . I remember him telling me to wrap the image. I understand the wrap part but am befuddled on what I should wrap the video and then what I wrap the swf. with?

In the bbCode Manager the following is what I found

<div><center><embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" name="mediaplayer1" showstatusbar="1" EnableContextMenu="false" autostart="false" width="450" height="300" transparentstart="1" loop="0" controller="true" src="{param}"></embed></center></div>

So I tried to post with pasting the below code into a post and had no luck,

[vid]www.myserverlocation/My Downloads/cablewrap.avi[/vid]

I have no idea where I have went wrong! (LOL)

I am also wanting to know how I would insert a swf file like a vid, is this possible also?

Could some one straighten out this grumpy old mans problem?

Thanx in Advance

Regards

Jammmer
 
Hm..i havent tried this before, maybe your bbcode itself is not working,
try putting http:// in the url like [vid]http://yourdomain.com[/vid] instead of [vid]yourdomain.com[/vid]
