Hi, welcome back to another session of 10after eLearning I'm Dao.
in this lesson
all demonstrate how to install and use the Kimili flash Embed plugin
for Wordpress.
this plugin is used to play shockwave flash videos only
meaning your video files need to be in the SWF format
if you're looking for an FLV plugin you need to view my FLV embed
plugin training.
Alright to start you'll need to install the plugin.
If you haven't already done so
go to the plugins page
click Add New at the top
In the search window type in the plugin name.
I'll type in Kimili
and then click search plugins
a list will show all the plugins that match the name
find Kimili
click install now
click okay to confirm
once it's done you'll need to activate the plugin
so click activate plugin
it'll bring you back to your plugin page and check to make sure the plugin did
indeed install.
the plugin website link is very important
the websites are maintained by the developers who created the plugins
Kimili has a really good website
and if I don't answer the questions you may have during this training I encourage
you to visit their website
look around and hopefully they'll answered your questions
Let's click on the link here called basic usage
what this talks about is the settings
for the Kimili flash embed generator
and i'll talk about this more in a moment
you can find your Kimili flash plugin settings on the left hand side
by clicking settings
and then selecting the Kimili flash embed name
the display window pops up
what you see here
are all the adjustable settings
for this plugin
I know there's a lot but I'll just focus on the top half of this section
and you can review the rest of the buttons and other selections on your
own time
if you have any questions about terms click the links
and that will display the definitions
or you can just hover over the gray links
and it also display
the flash SWF this is where the file name would be
the dimensions allow you to adjust the final display dimensions
on your blog
the align allows you to
align the display
I'm leaving that blank
so that it'll just be
the center by default
play--if I choose true
it'll play automatically
and Loop if i choose true
my movie will also
replay automatically
I'll shut those off for now
and at the very bottom here
this is where I click update options to save my options
now I'm ready to start a new post
and I notice here on the right hand side there's a little red Flash button
that's the Kimili flash embed tag what that means is that
when the Kimili plugin was installed and activated
this button shows up on your edit window screen
and this button will allow you to embed your Kimili Flash
I'm going to put a Title up here.
I'll call it Kimili Plugin
down here at the bottom
I'll have a sentence to introduce my plugin SWF
and I'll click save draft to save it
so before i can click this button I need the Flash file name
Go into my media library
find the Flash file
click edit
find the URL
do control copy to copy the whole entire name
I'm going to go back
to the post
find the plugin post
and click edit
I'm back in the edit window
place cursor where I want to insert the movie
click the red button
and here where it says Flash SWF
insert the name, the entire name that you just copied
up here together I can adjust the settings to static or dynamic
and for the flash version
I can change it to nine or whatever Flash version I need
but I'll keep it at 8 for now
and the dimensions 500
and 400 pixels
that's my final display for my movie
click generate
Once it is generated I can go back to the edit window
I can see that my Kimili plugin automatically generated some code
for me
I could take a close look at the code and recognize some of my settings.
For instance static
and Flash version was set to 8.00
and here I've inserted
the Flash movie title
and I've also changed the width to 500
and the height to 400
once I'm satisfied
I can click save draft
and then click preview
in the preview I can see that my flash movie was successfully installed in my
post
everything's working great
I can go back to the edit window, click publish
check the proofreader
and now my movie is successfully published
for all the world to see!
Now, let's recap what we just did
First we installed
and then we activated the Kimili plugin
and that shows up under our Plugins page
we can visit the website for further instructions
In the settings window on the right hand side we click the Kimili Flash
display
and adjust any settings that's needed
then we add a new post
this is where we see the red
Kimili Flash tag then we add in our Flash movie
and we save the draft
we preview the draft
and finally we publish the post!
This concludes another session of 10after eLearning
I'm Dao, and thanks for tuning in.
