====== Flash Player Plugin ======

This plugin uses the [[http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player|JW Media Player]], built with [[http://www.adobe.com/products/flash|Adobe's Flash]] to support 
playback of a single media file of any format the Adobe Flash Player can handle (MP3, FLV, SWF, JPG, PNG and GIF). It also supports RSS, XSPF and ATOM playlist (with mixed mediatypes and advertisement possibilities), a wide range of flashvars (settings) for tweaking both behavior and appearance.

===== Usage  =====
 
  <flashplayer width=X height=Y>flashvars</flashplayer>

Replace x and y with the height and width you would like.
The slider is 20 pixels high, so if you want to display a movie that is 240 in height you would enter height=260.

There are many flashvars available.  The link below links to the JW Flash Player web site for details on the flash variables:

In order to refer to a file in your wikis media repository, you must refer to it like this:

  /course/1020/_media/mynamespace:flash.flv

Here, the wiki is /course/1020, and the file //flash.flv// is in the namespace //mynamespace//. 

If you would like to display a WINK tutorial, you must use the flash component of the [[wiki:plugins:video]].

<swfobject :wiki:plugins:winkdemo.swf?width=640&height=480>
test
</swfobject>

<swfobject :wiki:plugins:player.swf?file="https://wiki.cse.yorku.ca/dept/tdb/_media/wiki:plugins:race.flv">

</swfobject>
