How do you embed a flash video in silverlight, if the source file is provided?
A:
Please go to Don't want to wait for Silverlight 3 to get your FLV support? for real-time FLV converter.

Well, it seems not a good idea. But I respect is as it may be your requirement.

In Silverlight 3 we've put in place raw audio/video capabilities so yes you could in theory render out .flv into Silverlight. That being said, research your codec licenses here and ensure you comply with Adobe's EULA / Terms & Conditions etc.

A:
Ramya,
Sorry, not that I know of. Silverlight 3 is the only realistic strategy here, there maybe some ways to bolt it on using your own native wrapper or something along those lines but it's somewhat of a dicey setup to use that approach.
Sorry!

Finally I got the answer,
string mediaUrl= http://www.youtube.com/v/h8Ek3v1RBEU&hl=en&fs=1;
HtmlElement mediaContent = HtmlPage.Document.GetElementById("MediaDiv"); HtmlElement mediaObject = HtmlPage.Document.CreateElement("Object");
mediaObject.Id = "mediaObject"; mediaContent.AppendChild(mediaObject);
HtmlElement param = HtmlPage.Document.CreateElement("param"); param.Id = "MediaID";
param.SetAttribute("name", "movie"); param.SetAttribute("value", mediaUrl);
param.SetAttribute("valuetype", "ref"); mediaObject.AppendChild(param);
HtmlElement embed = HtmlPage.Document.CreateElement("embed"); embed.SetAttribute("src", mediaUrl);
embed.SetAttribute("width", "425px"); embed.SetAttribute("height", "344px");
embed.SetAttribute("allowscriptaccess", "always"); mediaContent = HtmlPage.Document.GetElementById("MediaDiv"); mediaContent.SetAttribute("innerHTML", jsText); head.AppendChild(mediaContent);
mediaContent.SetStyleAttribute("display", "block");
This way we can embed a flash file.

Ramya, can you explain how the java script you provided at the top works? Perhaps give a complete example of the page showing how an SL3 xap embeds the FLV speficied in mediaUrl ? I don't know much about js and interacting with the HTML page elements. Am I supposed to make a ... ? :) thanks a zillion times.
