Thanks Tutsumi
Let's get you started!
For the Multimedia section of the Edit Profile page, you must only place in a URL, no coding is needed. The only URL which you have to place in, would be the URL that gives the DIRECT access to the file. This means there won't be any ads or anything else, just the pure file.
If you have a movie or song you would like to place as a .swf file, you can use a program I use called SUPER Fever from download.com. This program is completely free so don't worry about it. It also converts almost every type of audio and video file into .swf. The Extended Music thread in the Gaia Guides and Resources forum has a tutorial on this after I recommended the author to add SUPER Fever to his list.
IF you have Macromedia Studio, you can make the song in there and tweak it to your heart's content and then save it as a .swf file. ^_^
Youtube.com
On Firefox (FX): Go to the page playing the multimedia and left click on a blank space. Once you've done that, click on View Page Info and click on Media. Search for something with .swf in it and then left click that. Press Copy. Paste it onto something and then add http://www.youtube.com in front of it.
On Internet Explorer (IE): Right click a blank space and then click on View Source Code. Search for .swf by using the Edit button and then clicking Find. Once you've found the link, do the same as what I've stated for FX.
Here are two codes:
http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=lF3QcYJ1PfQ=144
That makes people have to click to play.
http://www.youtube.com/player.swf?video_id=lF3QcYJ1PfQ=144
That makes it start off automatically.
The only real difference is the /p.swf? versus the /player.swf?.
Other sites
It's simple for the other sites really. Just take the .swf the same way you'd do for youtube.com (this way is listed above.) If the link is for some reason too long, use SNIPURL.com to make it shorter.
