Flash object

Although a media player like WMediaPlayer is usually used to play video, you may also choose a WFlashObject to play video. In the example below the YouTube flash player is used. If flash is not supported on your system, a static image is shown.

Example

source

#include <Wt/WContainerWidget.h>
#include <Wt/WImage.h>
#include <Wt/WLink.h>
#include <Wt/WFlashObject.h>

// Define poster image location
std::string poster = "pics/sintel_trailer.jpg";

auto container = Wt::cpp14::make_unique<Wt::WContainerWidget>();

auto flash = container->addNew<Wt::WFlashObject>("https://www.youtube.com/v/HOfdboHvshg");
flash->setFlashParameter("allowFullScreen", "true");
flash->setAlternativeContent(Wt::cpp14::make_unique<Wt::WImage>(Wt::WLink(poster)));
flash->resize(640, 360);
