Hi,

Really must say this is a great site for playing about with flash and
creating a lot of effects, I reccomend it to anyone that wants to add
some extra sparkle to there creations.

I am quite new to flash creation, but have been playing around to see
what i can come up with. I have had success adding you tube videos
and images etc. However these you tube videos i have had to upload to
youtube then use your site to grab em im my flash project, obviously
with the annoying youtube logo on.

I see there is a component to add flash but i dont quite get it. I
have google flashvars etc. and have found little useful info about it
tbh.

Is it possible to just add a flash movie/other effect file easily,
without first uploading it to youtube?

Hope this isnt too much of a noob question, but hey we all gotta start
somewhere! ;-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Avi

Thanks for the feedback - we'll definitely consider adding the ability
to upload videos directly to the effect generator to save having to go
via YouTube.

Yes this is unfortunately not a very easy feature to use. One reason
for this is that there are several different versions of Flash 'code'
and these are not very compatible with each other. Another reason is
that a lot of Flash movies aren't designed to be run from within
another Flash movie, and so do things like draw themselves outside of
their bounds and/or scale themselves up to fill the whole Flash player
space. So, overall, embedding Flash movies doesn't really work very
well and there's not much that can be done about it, but sometimes it
does work and might be worth trying! You can find more about
