Streaming Videos
If you want to use streaming videos in your survey, you need to convert your movies first to the FLV format.
When your movie is in the FLV format download the free Open Source, Embeddable FLV Player at www.osflv.com
osflv.com: The OS FLV Player is an Open Source, embedable player for Flash native video files. The player provides a large amount of options that can be changed in the embed code, a code generator written in javascript, a library of PHP functions, and, of course, fully open source code!
Installation:
- unzip the directory
- upload the files AC_RunActiveContent.js and player.swf to your webserver
- upload your FLV movie file you want to show
- open the file Firefox codegenerator.html to generate the source code quickly
- save the code in a new html file and upload it also to your webserver
Open the html file and you will see your FLV movie.
Ofcourse when you want it in your survey just paste the code into to the code of your question or display.
When it doesn’t allow you to use it you can workaround this by adding an iframe in your question and load in that html file.
iframe code example:
<iframe src="myflvpage.html" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="450" scrolling="no">
Your browser is not supporting iframes. Please <a href=”myflvpage.html”>click here</a> to open the link in a new window.
</iframe>
