Hi all,

I’m running this plugin called [WP-Greybox on my website. You can see an example [URL=“http://www.anangbhai.com/vincent-price-explains-cricket/”]here.](http://grupenet.com/2007/06/11/wp-greybox/)

The very awesome benefit of this plugin is that I merely have to type in an href link to an swf or youtube link or metacafe link like this

> \<a href=“[http://youtube.com/v/kIbSWj0AtjM](http://youtube.com/v/kIbSWj0AtjM)” rel=“gb\_page\_center[640, 480]”\>example\</a\>

and it will display the video in a lightbox style window.

My only problem is that I can link to an swf but not to an flv file. I don’t want to create a single swf for all my flv files. I need a way to link my flv files dynamically through an href link much like the example using youtube above.

I tried looking up swfobject but I’m still confused as to how to create a dynamic link that leads to a dynamic swf that will lead to an flv file.

I’m using jeroen’s flv player.

Thanks.
