    You will have to create or find an existing video player SWF; there is no built-in Flash video player. I’ve found JW Player to work pretty well.

    Update:

    Here’s a sample of how you can embed the JW Player:

    <html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">

      var flashvars = { file:'yourvideofile.flv',autostart:'true' };
      var params = { allowfullscreen:'true', allowscriptaccess:'always' };
      var attributes = { id:'player1', name:'player1' };

      swfobject.embedSWF('player.swf','player','480','270','9.0.115','false',
        flashvars, params, attributes);

    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="player"></div>
  </body>
</html>
