Tips & Warnings
To set up the application on your website, transfer the CSS file, the JS file and the two SWF files to the root folder of your website host’s server with your usual FTP tool or your Web host’s content management system control panel. Upload MP4 video clips to your website server.
To display each video clip with Flowplayer, add the JavaScript and HTML code in the “Example” folder that downloaded with the application file to the header and body section of each Web page, replacing the domain in the example code with your own website domain and the MP4 video file name with the name of your video file.
