Well i tried to use flash video module but it is complicated

i need to sign up with a special host , bla bla bla............

But I have already made a flv file and uploaded under user files/flash

so is tere and icon for flash video like it is for flash in fck editor for example

or do I have to manually insert a code to play video?

the coolfilter.module may also be worth investigating.

You don't need any Drupal modules to embed Flash video

You actually don't need a special server or any Drupal modules.
Use Jerome Wiering's player and a little HTML embed code. JW Media player is free.

You can use this to point to YouTube videos or whatever as well.

Here is my code, which I post to a node or page:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab" width="500" height="395">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="file=REPLACE WITH PATH TO FLV FILE/video.flv&amp;autostart=true" />
<param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" src="REPLACE WTIH PATH TO JWMEDIAPLAYER/player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" flashvars="file=REPLACE WITH PATH TO FLV FILE/video.flv&amp;autostart=true" width="500" border="0" height="395"></embed>
</object>
