Re: [videoblogging] Re: what is best plug in for posting flv's in your own WP Blog?
the flash plugin that a web browser loads can take advantage of any functionality that a flash app contains (ie. features written with actionscript). in some cases, you may need to update your flash player to latest version but that has nothing to do with wordpress.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: what is best plug in for posting flv's in your own WP Blog?
Hi Daryl, It might be easier if you explained what the end result is supposed to be. You may not need to create a swf file, and you might be asking more complicated questions than you need to. Most people just embed flash video players from video sharing sites. These play a flv file within an flv player (different from a regular swf file) all the files for which are delivered by the sharing site. YouTube, Blip, Vimeo players are all examples of this. You can also embed a flash video within a swf flash file, created using Flash. This gives you more options for creating interactivity, but the files are larger and (I think) require the whole swf file contents to be downloaded before playing can begin, unlike an flv player. With a self hosted Wordpress.org blog you can use pretty much anything you'd be able to put on a regular web page. With a Wordpress.com blog, hosted by them, your options are severely restricted. They have a special process for embedding media, using their own Wordpress code. So if you have a Wordpress.com blog, the answer to your question is almost certainly no. But then I don't know exactly what it is that you're trying to do. If you're trying to create your own Flash player to insert lots of clickable interactive elements on top of and alongside the video, designing it yourself in Flash and using custom ActionScript that you've coded yourself, then you'd be able to put that in a post on your self-hosted Wordpress.org blog just like you would on a regular page, but not on a Wordpress.com blog. But you may not have to go to all that trouble of making your own player and scripts and embedding custom-built swf flash files. Perhaps you're a Flash genius and want to do it yourself - but if not, there are various ready-made products to allow you to do these things. If you want clickable hotspots in your videos, you can use Asterpix to make a clickable Flash video or LiveStage Pro to make a clickable Quicktime video. If you want a funky Flash player that allows you to style it and add lots of custom widgets, you might find the JW Player does what you want. Or you might just find that YouTube Annotations does what you need. It allows you to put clickable notes and hotspots in videos, which can link to other videos and channels on YouTube.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: what is best plug in for posting flv's in your own WP Blog?
It's not all that sophisticated but here's a project that I did that uses actionscript and cue points embeded in the flv files to provide some interactivity. There is nothing installed on the site. Just a swf file played by your browser's flash plugin and loading flv files as necessary. http://whatisscioncity.com - Verdi On Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 1:17 PM, Michael Sullivan sullele...@gmail.com wrote: the flash plugin that a web browser loads can take advantage of any functionality that a flash app contains (ie. features written with actionscript). in some cases, you may need to update your flash player to latest version but that has nothing to do with wordpress.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: VideoBloggingWeek2009 Finale
Yay! The great thing about videoblogging week is that lots of people who haven't made videos for a while suddenly make a video again - or more than one. I've enjoyed a lot. For those who didn't see, the amazing Duncan Speakman was posting vids again this week. http://duncanspeakman.net And I always get the most enjoyment when people remix each other's work. It hasn't happened so much recently, but Quirk and Proctor were playing racquet sports with each other all week: http://vimeo.com/quirk http://jenniferproctor.com We had a guest this weekend and I don't really do internet at the weekends, so I skipped Saturday and posted my Day 6 and Day 7 together last night. Feels good to have done 7 videos this week. Usually I crap out of these things two thirds of the way through, running out of ideas or time. But this week I did something different every day and it was never a chore.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: the coming Broadband limit?
As a Canadian, it seems hysterical to me as well.
