thank you all for replying.
It is definitely not a matter of syntax but of my poor knowledge of
Flash I suppose.
I found no way to get my mp4 imported in Flash converted in a "valid"
swf for playing: the proof of my wrong approach is the dimension of
the swf file obtained from Flash: 60KB against 6MB of the original mp4
file.
Maybe I will learn to use Flash the right way one day..
As soon as I used another tool to convert my mp4 video into swf (into
flv actually as you can read below) everything was ok and my original
syntax worked.
At present I chose to use the SWFObject approach which, among other
things, lets you play your movies as flv files and customized player
(I used the classic JW player), but even the classic <object> tag is
fine.
For the curious this is the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{=URL(r=request,c='static/
js',f='swfobject.js')}}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.file =
"{{=URL(r=request,c='static',f='xcel2xml.flv')}}";
var params = {};
params.play = "false";
params.loop = "false";
params.menu = "true";
params.quality = "best";
params.scale = "showall";
params.wmode = "window";
params.swliveconnect = "true";
params.allowfullscreen = "true";
params.allowscriptaccess = "always";
params.allownetworking = "all";
var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "container";
swfobject.embedSWF("{{=URL(r=request,c='static',f='player.swf')}}",
"myAlternativeContent", "640", "480", "9.0.0", false, flashvars,
params, attributes);
</script>
where player.swf= the JW Flash player and xcel2xml.flv=my video
In the body section of your view just put (shown only if the user does
not have Flash player installed):
<div id="myAlternativeContent">
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";>
<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/
get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
</a>
</div>
