Idiot proof Pop up Video Player PLEEEEASSSEEEE HELP !

[Maxie's Gal]

Hiya,

A forum member recommended I use Flash FLV Video Player to create pop up videos for my website. I've just spent the last 3 hours trying to learn javascript to get the "software" to work. The tutorials are all about javascript, the woes of UFO, IDs, parameters, etc. This is the 6th video player I've tried to learn to use. My files are currently .avi but I can convert to .swf. I don't mind spending under $100 to find something that does all the "stuff" for me and I just paste it into my html page !! I'm so beyond frustrated, I've been trying to find something and get it to work for 2 weeks !!! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME !!

Here's what I'd like to do:
On my site I'd like to offering streaming video of old boxing matches and interviews from the 1930s. (see URL below). I want to have a website visitor click on "Round 1" and have a new pop up open with the video inside. From what I understand, this will usually sidestep a firewall issue cuz the visitor has indicated their acceptance of the video by clicking on the link.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks !
Cat

Jeroen Wijering's new flash video player takes a javascript approach to get around the Eolas patent issue. You're right that it's a bit of a pain. If you don't mind that users of Internet Explorer 7 will have to click on your Flash player to start the video, you can do it the "old" way, which is much simpler.

I have an article here explaining how to do it:

Perhaps that will be of some help to you.
