| + | 0. Read (God forbid!) the "[[http://www.dokuwiki.org/images|how to handle images]]" manual | ||
| 1. Create the movie somehow. You'll need to create a flash video file (.flv) and a .png or .jpg image of the same size (e.g. 400 x 300 pixels). | 1. Create the movie somehow. You'll need to create a flash video file (.flv) and a .png or .jpg image of the same size (e.g. 400 x 300 pixels). | ||

| + | {{gtspring2009:howto:uploadbox.png}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | 4c. Now this is really important: In the **Media Files** portion of the upload box, select **movies** | ||
| + | and then under that **yourname**. On the right-hand side of the box **movies:yourname** will appear. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note: | ||
| + | * If **yourname** is not available as an option under **movies** in **Media Files**, you can create it by prepending "yourname:" to the filename in "upload as" box on the right. | ||
| + | * dokuwiki converts all capitals to lowercase on uploaded filenames. Pay attention to this when entering the movie file names in the flashplayer code below. | ||
| + | * **You //have// to upload your movie files to movies:yourname. It won't work if you upload them any place else.** | ||
| + | |||

| + | 4d. Select the movie files to upload and upload them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Put the movie in the blog ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | 5. Now add a line like the following to your blog, with appropriate substitutions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <flashplayer width="400" height="320">file=/movies/gibson/p76p82.flv&image=/movies/gibson/p76p82.png&repeat=none</flashplayer> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The %%<flashplayer ...%% tag should be flush with the left margin --no spaces before it. Note that the size is specified as 400 x 320 | ||
| + | pixels, 20 pixels more in height than the 400 x 300 images size shown in the above dialog box. The 20 extra pixels are for the flashplayer | ||
| + | controls. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6. Click on ''Preview'' or ''Save'' and voilá! There is a flash video embedded in your blog! | ||
| + | |||
| + | <flashplayer width="400" height="320">file=/movies/gibson/p76p82.flv&image=/movies/gibson/p76p82.png&repeat=none</flashplayer> | ||

| + | 8-) There isn't an easy way to remove uploaded files. Upload and overwrite an empty file of the same name, or ask JohnG to log in and remove manually. --- // John Gibson 2009-04-01 // | ||
