Maybe if I did Flash stuff more often, I wouldn’t always forget this.

If you have a button in flash that you want to click to a web URL, simply right click the object and click “convert to symbol”. Choose button and name it if you’re so inclined.

Next, with your button selected, go to the top nav bar and highlight “Window” then select “Behaviors”.

Select “+” and then “Web” – “Go to Webpage”.

Type in the URL and set your Open in command.

Click OK and you are set.

You want a flash video on your website, and you want it there easily? Look no further.

You will need to put the following swf somewhere on your server – flvplayer.swf

Then use the following code -

<embed src="http://yourdomain.com/flvplayer.swf" width="480" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=360&width=480&file=http://yourdomain.com/video.flv&displaywidth=480&autostart=false&shuffle=false&playlist=false&scroll=true" />

You will want to change the location of the swf and the filename and location of your flv. The width and height can be modified to fit with whatever size flv you are playing. If you do change these, make sure you change all of the heights and widths accordingly.

The other listed variables allow you to change things like autostart just by switching between “true” and “false”.

If you want to have more than one video to play in order, check this tutorial out -
