So I've got my shiny new screencast created with Jing (which I love) and have put my swf file on my web server and embedded in a test html page. It works just fine. However, there are no playback controls on the video when I play it. How can I added simple playback controls (pause, play, progress indicator minimally) to the video?

Here's the embed code I'm currently using:

<object width="1024" height="768">
    <param name="movie" value="swf/ClientSchedules1.swf">
    <embed src="swf/ClientSchedules1.swf" width="1024" height="768></embed>
</object>
A: 

You could try these:

<embed src="swf/ClientSchedules1.swf" width="1024" height="768" controls=console></embed>
<embed src="swf/ClientSchedules1.swf" width="1024" height="768" controller=true></embed>

The first seems to be used by old Netscape browsers, the second seems to be for IE. Perhaps one of these works for newer browsers, too. The second one seems to work here in Firefox for an .avi video.

This didn't work for me. Was hoping some simple attributes like this would work.

There seem to be no standard controls for Flash files, so I guess it's more a Jing specific thing you can't do with only changing the HTML code.
