Embed flash(flv,swf) files in blogger-useful tip for new bloggers
Posted by kranthi on Monday, December 17, 2007This tip explains you how to embed a flash(FLV or SWF videos) movie in your blogger(blogspot) blog or any other blogs.
Generally, most people prefer the simple code provided by the youtube to embed their videos.
(If you didn't know how to embed/insert a youtube video on your blogger blog,please read this
How to embed a youtube video in your blog).But,it is not unique content which will be availabel only on your blog.So,if you want to add original(raw) stuff like some interactive flash animations to your blog to attract the attention of your visitors,you will have to know this tip.First,create your flash videos,movies,etc and upload to your server.
There are many sources which will allow you to upload your flash files,but most of them are not free.However, you can upload your flash files on Google pages for FREE.
Simply follow the steps as shown in the below pictures.
1.Click on the upload link which is at the right side after you logged into 'google pages'

Next,

I will show you an example.I have uploaded a file named 'flash.swf',after uploading click on the link as shown in the figure

Next,save the url

2.The url in this case is
http://templates.bloggertricks.com/flash.swf
note that url and paste it in the below code and use it whereever you want,in your blog post,in the sidebar,etc.
NOTE:Replace the url in the code to your original url & also set your own dimensions to suite your blog.In this case,I prefer width:120 px and height:120 px
3.Finally,the flash file will appear like this
If you have any doubt,don't hesitate to ask.You can ask your questions via YOUR COMMENTS

I embedded "SimpleViewer", it has a .xml configuration and an "images" folder file besides the .swf file.
It says "gallery not found"... how can I do it?? I presume it is not finding the xml nor the images...
I did everything you demonstrated. And it did not work. In Google pages when I clicked on the file it didn't open up a url page. It asked to open or save the file. Secondly, I tried embedding your code with the muscleman picture and it didn't work either. No picture just the code showed up in blogspot "preview" mode.
Dear
it's supposed that blogspot is the best blogger as it's very
simple but there is a very needed feature not avilable
when i want to delete posts i must delete one by one so it's take too
long time i want a way to delete group of posts together
but i didnt found that mean in blogger help so please find solution for
this matter
your immediate cooperation is highly appreciated
HI- I had no idea how to do this until reading this post. Thanks a bunch. I will go get to work on implementing these tips.
This is marvellous!
This is not working... when I publish my post... I get only the code... I've installed all the flash stuff... but still not getting it
Hi Parvez,
Now check it once again,.. it will work 100%
Thank you for the tip. I tried it and it worked! Beats any WordPress plugin! Wonderful work!
i tried and even used your code but it's not working at all. please help.
Great pal.. thanks
it works, but look like google page creator have a limit for your video to be uploaded.. do you have any other sites where I can upload flash video with bigger size?
After what code i should insert the code?
Firefox told me that i should install the plugin. After i install, still give nothing and your swf file cannot be played again.
Weird
It works. But what doesn't work are the links in my flash file. It gives a mouse over, and the you have to click with the right mouse button to get the url...do you know how to fix that?
Don't work links (getUrl method) in Flash file. Who have knowhow for fix that?
I'm very thankful to you, because I'm a usual flash user but I can't post my works on my blog till I see this tip...So thanks very much
