Adding a YouTube Video
From Garden Gnome Software
For Pano2VR V3
Step 1
- Open YouTube and select the video you want to embed. Make sure that you can embed the video, not all can.
- Right button click on the video to show the context menu, click “Copy embed code”, please note this will not be in the context menu if the owner of the video does not want you to embed it.
- Open a document and paste this code to see it:
- <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BfIAKj3Gl1E?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BfIAKj3Gl1E?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object><br />
- The bold areas are what you will need to embed the video, file location and window size, http://www.youtube.com/v/BfIAKj3Gl1E?version=3 and 390, 640.
Step 2
- Open the skin editor and click on the Add external Image/SWF button.
- Add an external box in the skin and open it.
- Set the window size of the external box to match the size of the embedded video and copy and paste in the code in to the External Url text field. Anchor centre and out put the file.
Loading: this check box unloads the video when hidden which means another video will be able to be played.
