I am trying figure out how to wrap text around the JW FLV player? i.e like a embedding a YouTube or Vimeo video ... here is an example page that explains in more detail: http://video.nessworks.com/jw/sample.htm

Any help would be appreciated.

<div id="container" style=" width:300px; height:245px; float:right;">
<a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get flash</a> to see this player.
</div> maybe you should also update your player (v.3.11) - current version is v.3.16 and plays youtube using the official youtube api

Thank you for your Help, Tips and Link Anderson.

I upgraded to v 3.16. I reviewed the SetUp/Wizard page and tried some different variations. I love the YouTube function.
In this particuler case, I want to play back the video on my host like in my examples ...

I provided another updated Link: http://video.nessworks.com/316/sample3.htm

I can get the JW FLV player 3.16 to "justify" right using the HTML code above on it's own ...
but when I paste the HTML into the page code WITHIN the table I cannot get the text to justify around the JW Flv player like it does a Vimeo Video . I tried various attempts at the setup wizard again ... but I am unsuccessful.

I provided another link to the code on the sample3 page: http://video.nessworks.com/316/sample3.htm

What am I missing? ... I tried to use the wizard to create a YouTube version of the player and change the setting playback to the .flv local, use the embed source but I am unsuccessful...

In the Wizard,
It provides swobject code AND the embed code. Do you use these inconjunction with each other? When I bring in a Vimeo video and paste the code into the desired position, it creates Active X componnet. I am trying to create a similar effect with the JW FlV player so I can wrap text around it like the Vimeo example. But I am still unsuccessful.
Whew ... Thanks again ... probably something simple in the HTML I am missing

please see the source of this file - http://home5.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/flash/mediaplayer/loremipsum.htm

and no, - the <embed code and the swfobject code should not be used together for the same player...

Details ... Details...

Man I thought this one would be a piece of cake:

HSPACE=10 - horizontal space between applet and surrounding text (HTML Code)

I tried every combination I thought possible in the code around the JW FLV player.

Can you to tell me where I should put this syntax in the code to create a bit of spacing between the text and applet.

Thx Again!

set the margin of the style sheet - <div id="container" style=" width:300px; height:245px; margin:16px; float:right;">

here is more info on css - http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html
this site has some good examples (not affiliated with w3.org though) - http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_intro.asp
