== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I keep getting “Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.” message even though I have the latest Flash player. Why? =

It is very likely that `wp_head()` function is missing in your theme’s header. To fix this, put the following code into your WordPress theme’s header file, right before the `</head>`:
	
	<?php wp_head(); ?>

= Why doesn’t my flash video stretch properly? =

You need a better encoder. You can also try different settings for `$flv_overstretch` option. 

= How can I align the video in the middle? =

Put the following code into your theme’s stylesheet (for easy way of doing this, see MyCSS):
	
	#player1, #player2, #player3 {text-align: center;}

= How can I get the cool-sexy-fade-away-interface look as seen in the demo? =

Set `$flv_showcontrolbar` to 0. ;)

= I really like this plugin, what can I do to help? =
