How do I generate embeddable code like youtube?

[eluser]geshan[/eluser]
I have web application built in codeigniter, lets say it gives out something like a flash animation. How do I make each flash animation be embeddable to any website that copies and pastes the embed code I provide. How do I do it? will I need a web service to do it?

Please help.

Just provide users with the same <embed> markup you would use to embed the object on your OWN site. Just make sure the path is absolute, e.g. http://www.yoursite/video/1232345.flv
