Hi Everybody,

I just want to know if there is a possibility to have an external link to play an embedded video, I have the following code:

<div style="width: 254px; height: 157px; border-style: solid solid solid solid; border-width: 1px 1px 0px 1px; border-color: #000000;">
<object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="254" height="157">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<param name="flashvars" value="file=video.flv&autostart=true" />
<embed
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
id="player2"
name="player2"
src="player.swf"
width="254"
height="157"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=video.flv&autostart=true"
/>
</object>
</div>

And I want to have a link outside this code to play the video, something like:

<a href=""> Click here to watch the video </a>

If this is possible, please show me how to do it.

Thanks in advance,
Manuel
