The url you made yellow does nothing when I hit it - can you send me another url - one for the entire page?

Subject: [Xerte] using screenr screencasts

Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone has thought of a way of embedding screenr.com videos into a XOT page? I've tried using the embed code, or even trying to reference the actual video url (got it via fiddler) which is actually an MP4 stored on the cloud.

The embed code for a screenr vid is as follows:

<object classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,115,0' width='560' height='345'><param name='movie' value='http://screenr.com/Content/assets/screenr_1116090935.swf' /><param name='flashvars' value='i=97014' /><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' /><embed src='http://screenr.com/Content/assets/screenr_1116090935.swf' flashvars='i=97014' allowFullScreen='true' width='560' height='345' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'></embed></object>

Screenr video page URL: http://screenr.com/6g0
MP4 URL: http://c0203131.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1fc73542-29cf-4b91-85a8-98cfe94bafb5.mp4

The swf file is the player, not the video. I attempted to do some sort of mashing together of the player URL with &i=97014 but that didn't work either.

The alternative is sending it to you tube or converting the MP4 to FLV but it'd be good if there was a way to stick it straight in.

Unless you geniuses can think of something I'm missing?
