				Embedding a stickam player. was created by sliptonic			
			
				I'm trying to embed the live video player from stickam.  Not a stored video, but the live stream from an account.
To embed a player on a website, the stickam site produces code like:
<table><tr><td><embed src="player.stickam.com/stickamPlayer/XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="160" height="400" scale="noscale" allowScriptAccess="always">www.stickam.com" target="_blank" >Express Yourself LIVE 
Where XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX is the id of the player.
Pasting this code into a joomla content item doesn't work and joomla throws most of it away.
Using this id between the mambot tags doesn't work. The page is just blank.
Does anyone know if the allvideos plugin can display the live stream player? Is there another way to do what I'm trying to do?

				Bump.
Any developers reading this forum? Have I hit a hard limitation of the plugin or am I doing this wrong? Thanks in advance.

				Have you tried simply inserting the code in the html source?

				Yes, I've tried that.  When I save it, all of the stickam specific code is lost.  Only the html table code is preserved.
I started using allvideos plugin because YouTube code did the same thing. I've been happy with the plugin for YouTube videos, but can't get it to work for the stickam.

				I've run into the exact same problem on www.thexba.com. 
The only workaround I've found to make this work is "View Source" with Firefox 3's Web Developer plug-in, embed the player directly into the code, save the page as an HTML file, then upload it.
If anyone has any insight into making the SticKam Live Player work with this, I'm all ears!
