Ok, first off let's take a look at the embed code. Youtube has changed their embed method recently which does affect the ability to use the flash tags. When you get the embed code, there's a checkbox for "use old code". Check that. Now get the embed code and copy/paste it into your post that you wish to embed it in.
youtube embed code wrote:<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NAj8FJNskqM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NAj8FJNskqM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Anything not in bold is completely irrelevant and you'll end up getting rid of it later.
Now, the flash tags require pixel dimensions, which is in the first bolded text. Get rid of everything but the numbers and place them as coordinates in the beginning flash tag shown here
- Code: Select all
[flash=480,385]
Now that we have that, take the url that you see in bold above, and place it directly after the flash dimension tag with no spaces, then the /flash tag, still no spaces. The end product will look like this:
- Code: Select all
[flash=480,385]http://www.youtube.com/v/NAj8FJNskqM?fs=1&hl=en_US[/flash]
For proof, just press quote on this post and you will see the exact same code where the video below will be.
I hope I helped a few people out today!
