 +===== Using swfobject to display Flash ===== 
 + 
 +To display a Flash (.flv) file using the swfobject plugin, you need the [[https://wiki.cse.yorku.ca/dept/tdb/_media/:wiki:plugins:player.swf|player.swf]] file from [[http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player|JW FLV Player]] which is an swf file that can display flv files.  You need to upload the player.swf to your Wiki, and then you can do something like: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +<swfobject :wiki:plugins:player.swf?width=1024&height=768&file=https://wiki.cse.yorku.ca/dept/tdb/_media/wiki:plugins:your-flash.flv>
