Here's a great AC Tip for manually including your Video/Audio files within your AC written content material.

Most of the CPs (Content Producers) at AC (Associated Content.com) have the option of embedding their own Video and Audio Source codes manually, especially for those whom have succeeded in getting 3 articles published by AC and now have the privelege of posting and publishing the next article(s) without having to wait (According to AC Guidelines).

Before attempting to manually embed either your Video or Audio into your Content written material, pay attention to a simple "Rule of Thumb", which is:

Most Video and Audio files are Java-based, and Java-based files must always be "saved" within an HTML Source Editor, and not through some WYSIWYG (Acronym: What You See Is What You Get) Editor.

Procedure to Embed:

1. First open up your Notepad and go to either the Video or Audio AC page. Find the file you want. Locate the Source code and copy & paste the code in your Notepad.

2. Then go to your AC Publish Tab, follow the Steps as AC requires you to do (Exclusive, Non-Exclusive, etc.), and when you arrive at your Content "Text Editor ON" (which is actually a WYSIWYG editor), place your article and do whatever necessary adjustments (Bold, Underline, etc.) you believe your Content material needs.

3. To place your "Video" or "Audio" Source Code, click on "Source" located in the upper left-hand corner of your AC Text Editor. At this point, you will see your entire written material in "HTML Source format". Locate a place in your Content Material where you would like to insert your "Video" or "Audio" Source Code.

4. Once you have found a place in your HTML Source Content, return to your Notepad (where you had placed your "Video" and "Audio" Source Code), copy the Html Source code again and then paste it in the location where you want the code to show in your Content file (while your "HTML Source" page is still open).

I take that back, I swithed over to firefox and it worked great... i.e. couldn't handle the operation.
