Shared media on a prim

[Fairy Fanshaw]

I tried to put a youtube film on a prim, like in the Torey Linden tutorial, but it does not play for me.

(I see no play button available)

Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

I am using Firestorm and I have Flash installed.

Greetings,

What Flash version did you install? You will need to install the standalone version for Firefox and other browsers. If you installed Flash via Internet Explorer it will not work.

To use media on a prim in Firestorm, hover the mouse over the volume control icon in the upper right.  A small pop-up will appear.  Make sure there's a check next to Media:

Then hover the mouse over the face of the prim with the media.  A URL bar will appear.  Click the Zoom In button:

The camera will move to show that face of the prim straight on and the web content will show on the prim.  The icon next to the volume control that used to look like a video camera will now look like a typical Pause button.  You can click that to turn off all media or hover over it for another window that gives more options.

I can not find the stand alone version on the official Adobe site, so i tried to download an other but I got the notice that the download failed, because it was not the latest version and it lead me back to the official site again.

Where to download the latest stand alone?

Thank you all for replying.

Yes I have everything checked what needs to be checked for playing media.

Well perhaps it is just made wrongly? Scripting or whatever. I'm not much for building. An object i have has an internet browser in it, and youtube works just fine. Friend made it so i couldn't really offer any ideas other than maybe there's something wrong with its creation or how it was put together?

here is how i do it ...i'm in firestorm phoenix..before anything make sure  media is checked in your preferences..

The standalone version of Flash can be downloaded from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Make sure to choose "For other browsers" in step 2.

Thank you Ansariel, you just made my day LOL!

The download of that Flash version was what was needed.

Thank you also all the other people for their very complete explainations, you are great!

Yay!

And what do we learn from this: Never use Internet Explorer for downloading stuff - maybe even for anything else!

i gave up on that browser like when mozilla first came out..

i hated setting up a web page then finding out later that it looked all messed up in IE to those using it ..then having to go restructure stuff to work in both..

bleh..hehehe
