    There is an automatic flv player in macromedia flash. Or if you really wish to have something like youtube, why not just uplaod there, less bandwitdh and space usage. Try googling for a flash player if you are interested in buying or do you want to learn how to make one?

    Mido, here is one possible solution.

    I had need to convert a .wmv file to Flash (I know you don't wish to convert - bear with me), simply and inexpensively. Here is what I did.

    I went to one of my favorite ez-2-use software sites...

    http://www.coffeecup.com/video-player/

    and purchased their program.

    Then, I used it for the following video.

    http://www.centralcityclassifieds.com/WW2BM/millionaire.html

    Yes, it converts the .wmv to a flash video (but you must do that!), however, it SAVES your original file so that visitors can save your .wmv file after you post it for download!

    Hope this helps! :)

    simply not possible, buddy. The server on the site converts em to flv then plays them using that player.

    The only way to view wmv through a flash player is to convert it to an flv file. You will need to upload both files still. You could try and find a server where you can upload the file and it converts and at the same time it will not delete the wmv.
