Although a media player like WMediaPlayer is usually used to play video, you may also choose a WFlashObject to play video. In the example below the YouTube flash player is used. If flash is not supported on your system, a static image is shown.
void Flash() { String poster = "pics/sintel_trailer.jpg"; WContainerWidget container = new WContainerWidget(); WFlashObject flash = new WFlashObject("https://www.youtube.com/v/HOfdboHvshg", (WContainerWidget) container); flash.setFlashParameter("allowFullScreen", "true"); flash.setAlternativeContent(new WImage(new WLink(poster))); flash.resize(new WLength(640), new WLength(360)); }
