There are 4 embeded videos in this message. If you cannot see all 4 videos, you may not have windows media player installed properly on your computer or you might be missing some "plug-in's" for it. Also you might only be able to see some of these videos unless you are using "Internet Explorer" as your web browser. Other web browser's may give you problems!

POSTING VIDEO'S IN YOUR MESSAGES
1. For YOUTUBE

You have to check "Your Profile" on this message board and make sure that "HTML" is allowed.

When you visit Youtube, any video you watch has a html "embed" tag beside it.

Simply copy&paste it into your message. Thats it, simple!

This is the code for a "U2" video on youtube. All i did is copy it!(displayed as code so you can see it)



Don't forget to write some text to say what the video is!
And how long in minutes it takes to play!

This is how a youtube video is displayed in your message;
U2 & Mary J. Blige - One; 4 minutes 25 seconds!

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XlHnHY_xQVg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XlHnHY_xQVg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

2. For GOOGLE VIDEO

Its exactly the same as youtube. But to find the html tag, you go to the video you want in your message. Beside each Google video, there is a box that says "Email - Blog - Post to MySpace". If you click that box, you will see a link that says " Embed HTML ". If you click that, you will be able to see the html tag for the video. Then simply copy&paste it into your message.

Here is an example:



And here is the video:

Old Lady Pwnz Mercedes Guy; 33 seconds

<embed id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=2889527841583480458&hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed>

3. Other videos and media files
CAUTION!These codes might cause problems when viewed with browers other than "Internet Explorer"

If you know somewhere on the internet where a music video or movie is stored, you might be able to embed it in your message by using this code. Either remember the code, or come and view this message when you want the code. Again, just copy & paste it.



This is an example of the code with a link to a "U2" video


This is how the video is displayed;

Dido....White Flag; 4 muinets long
