Hello,

I have embedded videos on my site but a lot of forums are having trouble with it. I need to clean up the embed code if that’s possible. Here’s an example:

\<embed width=“640” height=“480” quality=“high” wmode=“transparent” allowfullscreen=“true” allowscriptaccess=“always” src=“[http://www.website.com/preview.swf?MediaLink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fvideos%2F7098%2FWE1254662401W4ac8a101c07d4.flv&image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fcdn%2Fvideos%2F7098%2Fframe\_front.jpg&playOnStart=false&share=false](http://www.website.com/preview.swf?MediaLink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fvideos%2F7098%2FWE1254662401W4ac8a101c07d4.flv&image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2Fcdn%2Fvideos%2F7098%2Fframe_front.jpg&playOnStart=false&share=false)” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” /\>\<br /\>\<div style=“font-size:9px;”\>

I think the main issue is the messy code from the ?MediaLink=

Is it possible to do something like this

preview.swf?video=123456.xml

And then have all the configuration variables such as the MediaLink, image, etc, stored inside the xml file?

Thanks.
