Help with embedded slideshows

[RCB]

I am trying to put together a blog and am having plenty of problems. The one I cannot figured out now, and I assumed it would be easy, is to embed a flickr slide show in a blog post. I am using wordpress.com and just cannot get it to work. I would love to hear how other posters have achieved this. Thanks, Robert

I know with hosted websites etc you may have to download the viewer and embed that in your webspages eg FLV videos. See below for example I found, just cant remember which forum


Adding the FLV Video to your homepage
You need a flash video player together with your URL="http://www.videohelp.com/tools/FLV_Player"]FLV player Download
="http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player"]Flash Video Player It includes a free Flash Video Player for your FLV video. Upload the flvplayer.swf file that comes with Flash Video Player to your server.Upload your .flv video file to your server .Add the following html code to your page:

object width="320" height="240" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/
shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0">
<param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.myhomepage.com/myvideofile.flv" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.myhomepage.com/flvplayer.swf" />
<embed src="http://www.myhomepage.com/flvplayer.swf" width="320" height="240" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="file=http://www.myhomepage.com/myvideofile.flv" />
</object>

Replace myvideofile.flv with your flv filename
Replace URL="http://www.myhomepage.com/". http://www.myhomepage.com/ with your address.
Replace the width and height with your flv width and height.
Add &autostart=1 to the video file if you want it to autoplay, like Code

file=http://www.myhomepage.com/myvideofile.flv&autostart=1

Thanks a lot for the detailed info. I am struggling putting this together but your post will really help. Any new idea I have for the site poses a new set of code, etc I need to learn. Starting from scratch is tough and thanks again, Robert
