Since I had nothing to do, I pissed around on YouTube for a while. Found some old commercials from the 70s and 80s that I remembered (I still want the “right” Zoodles commercial, and the Caramilk one with the devil…”I’m willing to pay…anything!”), and also found this. I’d forgot all about it except for occasionally getting the song stuck in my head. It was part of a collection of commercials from the 80s, but I didn’t know the rest, so I liberated a copy, converted to AVI, edited out just this one, then converted it back to Flash because…well, basically because I’m awesome. Now, if only I can figure out how the hell to put it in un-embedded friendly WordPress….and I thought I had nothing to do!
Okay…here goes the code. Will it work?
Well, that was fun….no, it won’t, and I have something to do. 🙂
embedded by Embedded VideoThat works, though it’s utterly frightening that I remembered every word of it even though I hadn’t heard the commercial since I used to watch Jem and Denver The Last Dinosaur (never mind that I actually owned Army Ants–their arses glowed in the dark)…now how to I make it “click to play” instead of autoplay? Hmmmm…
How the hell can I do this…do I have to make the FLV itself click-to-play? Adding a play parameter set to false doesn’t work, though that’s what Adobe claims should do it. I’m about to say “fuck it”; I’m not that desperate for something to do! 😆
