[edit] Examples
Bare minimum:
<dhflashplayer>file=mushroom.flv|width=200|height=120|path=http://somewebsite.com/movies/</dhflashplayer>
With flash variables and only one video player on the page, use something like:
<dhflashplayer>file=mushroom.flv|width=200|height=120|path=http://somewebsite.com/movies/|flashvars=&showdigits=true&autostart=false&image=http://somewebsite.com/images/mushroom.jpg</dhflashplayer>
With more then one video on the page, the extra players on the same page should use the following code:
<dhflashplayer>file=mushroom.flv|width=200|height=120|path=http://somewebsite.com/movies/|flashvars=&showdigits=true&autostart=false&image=http://somewebsite.com/images/mushroom.jpg|more_then_one=true</dhflashplayer>
[edit] Code

[edit] Installation
- Save the code as dhflashplayer.php and upload it into the extension directory of your MediaWiki installation like: mediawiki/extensions/dhflashplayer.php
