Help to embed Video

[TonyN]

Why isnt this video embedding?

This is the code, why does it display as the following instead

<object width="576" height="432" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/180202765127" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/180202765127" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="576" height="432"></embed></object>

How do I get it to work? Ahhh

never tried to embed a video but it looks like you have opened elements but not then closed them; in the same way as you open the element

.

<object width> is closed by </object> and <embed> by </embed> so I think the problem may lie in this bit.

<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/180202765127" />

I think each <param name> statement should be separately closed by </param>, also I don't think the / belongs in the opening element.

Hmm, I wouldn't have a clue.

I actually clicked on the 'embed video' link from the site I hosted it on and it just gave me that code. I copied and Pasted it exactly as it was dislayed.

That has just taken me to my facebook page where i had to sign in to view the video, The idea was that it was embeded on the thread so everyone could watch it. Maybe it has something to do with the privacy setings, I will look into.

Thanks for taking the time to help though.

tony as you have guessed already you would need to look at the security settings in facebook to allow everyone to see it or you could try this Photobucket

Too big for Photobucket

I just changed the setting in the video to everyone can view, but it still just displayed all the text

I'll just provide the link instead!

 

[TonyN]

Ahhh even the link doesn't work, you have to be signed into Facebook. I give up!

I would have to make the file smaller, to host it on photobucket.
