How fun to have the girls all dancing! Did you join them?

I cant view the YouTubes due to my dial up.. but know the dance.. it brings back fond memories of a vacation in Aruba. A nice dinner place called Twinkle Bones where the natives come dancing in and pull some of their guests from the tables to do some dancing with them.. ah.. yes.. I was on the dance floor shaken the macarena!

Grateful for the drinks before we started..

On the youtube page, you see the "embed" code over on the right, below the "url" code.

When I copied it, it was all this:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="
http://www.youtube.com/v/9z7t-Ox3XvU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="
http://www.youtube.com/v/9z7t-Ox3XvU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

You're going to get rid of most of that, leaving only this portion which is enlarged here:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="
http://www.youtube.com/v/9z7t-Ox3XvU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="
http://www.youtube.com/v/9z7t-Ox3XvU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>


Put another way, you only take the piece of the code in quotes, after src=
Don't take the quotes themselves.

In your post, hit the Flash BBC Tag (to the left of the img tag), which renders this:
[f l a s h=200,200][/f l a s h]
Change out the 200,200 to a larger dimension. (Play with it to see what you like.)
I used 500,400 on the one I edited above.
Enter the piece of the embed code which you culled out, as above.
Voila.

[f l a s h=500,400]http://www.youtube.com/v/9z7t-Ox3XvU&hl=en&fs=1[/f l a s h]

(I falsely put spaces in the "flash" word, so you could see...)

Ok ill give it a shot with Happy Feet. This was the other song the girls danced to, "Low," which.. well you can hear it lol

Yay!!!! I think I got it - and the baby youtube too!

[nichi]

Yay! Happy Feet is great, too!

Its just clever how they get all those penguins to dance like that - guess they gotta do something so they dont freeze their tailfeathers off, LOL

you are better off using the size indicated in the full embed code,
so in your example: <object width="425" height="344">

then instead of the default:

Code: [Select]

[flash=200,200]....[/flash]
you change it to:

Code: [Select]

[flash=425,344]....[/flash]
that way you maintain the ratio, and you know the author has designed the movie to fit YouTube's default frame size. But you can increas the size of you think the resolution of the movie will handle being bigger.

Damnit, that was the wrong Low! Bad Happy Feet!

Here it is!
