All you need to do is enter the URL to the video. With YouTube, all you have to do is enter the URL to the page the video is on; with other services, like Vimeo, you need to do a little extra work. Click on the "embed" option for your Vimeo video. They will display a code you can use; make sure it is the "old" code and not the new one (the old one has an object tag). For example: Code: HTML <object width="400" height="225"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> <param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=21248863&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0" /> <embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=21248863&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"> </embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/21248863">MANY STEPS</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/akachi">Takayuki Akachi</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> You want the part in the [font-courier]<param name="movie" value="..."[/font] tag. That's the URL to the flash file, and you put it in between the flash BBCode tags: Code: `[flash=400,225]http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=21248863&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0[/flash]` The numbers 400 and 225 specify the width and the height of the video, respectively. The end product should look like this:
