Question

I’ve got an animating tool (Koolmoves) that produces SWF files as its output. Is there a video player that allows one to play an SWF on the web with the same basic functions one sees on any video player, i.e. pause/stop/drag bar to control position of playback, etc?

If not (because of the way the SWF format works), can you please point me to the steps I need to do to make this possible, letting me know the converter you use/recommend, and also a player to use. Please note I’m looking for just a very simple, “lightly skinned” player, just enough to give the user some control over the experience. Total length of piece, in case that matters, is about 2 minutes.

Thanks much, Ray

You can use something like:

<a href="javascript:document.movie.Play()">Play</a>
<a href="javascript:document.movie.StopPlay()">Pause</a>

Reference including example:
