On the second part, it's fairly easy to add another button to the quicktags toolbar but it's even easier to install my moretags plugin ... which will give you a button for green ... and 6 other colors, h-tags, font larger and smaller, 3 customizable div tags, and maybe something else.

On .flv files, I guess that can be done. I should get off my lazy butt and publish my radically improved videoplug plugin, which happens to be way cooler than the regular videoplug by about eleven million jumping chickens. Even though it doesn't offer .flv files. It does .swf but not .flv :( What type of info do you need to embed a .flv file? Heck what even is a .flv file?

Yea, i almost forgot that.. i ll try to modify, see if it as easy as you think to hack it to have another custom button.

That would be way too good, despite that i dont need it urgently, someone else might do.

thank you for your help

Okay tell me more. Like, do you have to stick that javascript in every time you want to do a .flv file? Have you a page where I can see it in action so I can figure out how to best add it to the coolest little video embedder this side of something far away? Heck how about a .flv file that you want to embed in your blog so I can practice with it and make it happen?

The plugin is sufficiently tested and operational to the point where I am writing a rather wonderful readme file for it, so I'd like to add .flv to it now rather than later when I forget all the doodads of how it works is the thing.

We use a swf to play flv's ( [url=http://arenatv.co.uk/]ArenaTv[/url] ) it's not an evo blog but it's the same principal

<object height="230" width="324" title=" whatever " data="/videos/flvplayer.swf?file=home/showreel.flv&amp;image=/videos/home/home.jpg&amp;bufferlength=5" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="myplayer">
			<param value="/videos/flvplayer.swf?file=home/showreel.flv&amp;image=/videos/home/home.jpg&amp;bufferlength=5" name="movie" id="fred"/>
			<a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Macromedia Flash Player (tm) 7 required</a>

Groovy.

Marked as 'watch' so I'll come back to this. Might be an addition to the freshly released "upgraded videoplug" or it might be a standalone thing. Dunno.

Holy crap what a mess I made of the upgraded videoplug release ! Tested it quite a bit and fixed lots of stuff that should have worked but didn't, wrote up a readme, zipped it up and applied it to my blog. As soon as I published the post BAM my whole blog was bogged down in PHP timeouts from the new plugin.

Fixed it all, or at least I'm pretty sure I fixed it all, then let it out into the wilds again. Now I'm quite tired. WAY tired in fact.

I was able to embed my swf into my post at http://www.l10ngettogether.com/blog4.php but can't add the video skin, which is another swf (SteelExternalAll.swf). Any suggestions how I can add it?

Here is my code:
<object width="480" height="320"><value ="http://www.l10ngettogether.com/media/blogs/photos/Videos/Carolina.swf?root=collection_4&amp;path=Videos/Carolina.swf&amp;size=fit-80x80;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.l10ngettogether.com/media/blogs/photos/Videos/Carolina.swf?root=collection_4&amp;path=Videos/Carolina.swf&amp;size=fit-80x80;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="320"></embed></value>
</object>
