19. Right click and select PASTE to insert the location of your movie.

20. Copy the following code and paste it into the source editor also.

<EMBED SRC="peanuts.mid" AUTOSTART=FALSE LOOP=FALSE WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=200 ALIGN="CENTER"> </EMBED>

21. Take out the example peanuts.mid and replace it with the location of your movie.

22. Select SAVE at the bottom.

23. You can change the title of your content editor web part by selecting APPEARANCE and adding your title where it says TITLE.

24. Select OK at the bottom of the tool pane. Your movie is now embedded into your website.

I suggest you add directions to the content editor web part to clear up any questions the audience may have. They have to select the movie once to activate the Active X Control and then press PLAY. If the movie plays a little bit and then stops they need to wait a few minutes for the movie to finish buffering before they select PLAY again.
