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?

try the video module

oh and you dont need any special host for the flash video module

the coolfilter.module may also be worth investigating.

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>
