Answer 1

You can paste that in an MVC View. Views can have plain old HTML code.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1561906/embed-video-on-a-asp-net-mvc-website question and the answers. The SWF Object works very well.

I used the JW FLV player together with this explanation: http://codevoyeur.com/Articles/15/ASP.NET-MVC-HtmlHelper-Extensions-for-the-JW-FLV-Media-Player.aspx in several asp.net mvc sites.

I don't see how this is any different than embed a flash object in a page. Any error you may be getting is definitely unrelated to it being in asp.net MVC.

I did. It doesn't work. May be some of the tags might be wrong. However I'm not a flash expert. I could tell you that the HTML they sent me has 43 errors according to the HTML Validator.

We are not the ones to complain about it ;). Put it in the simplest html page, and send it back as a test case that it doesn't work.

Answer 4

I solved my problem, probably not using any correct form, but as it was urgent I opted for the shortest way... Came with the idea of using iframes so I could use the entirely html the third party flash developers sent me...

Thanks all for your post though...
