 * What I need is, for example, to get the Viper´s Video Quicktags working inside
   the Custom Field Template

 * Hi,
 * What i did to embed flash files (swf, not flv) but i think you could do the same
   with another plugin for FLV.
 * i use [SWFObj](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/swfobj/) plugin to embed flash
   objects in my posts.
 * I have a custom post type named ‘produit’. I made a custom template for it with
   the following field to upload file :
 *     ```
       [VCarrousel]
       type = file
       mediaPicker = true
       mediaLibrary = true
       alias = Visuel carrousel
       ```
   
 * I create a single-produit.php to display my ‘produit’ posts where i wrote in 
   these lines :
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       //give me the attachement id
       $idvc = do_shortcode('[cft key=VCarrousel]');
   
       //if it's an image, display it in 160x160
       if (wp_attachment_is_image($idvc)) {
         echo wp_get_attachment_image($idvc , 'attachment-160x160' ) ;
       }
       else {
         //check if it's a flash file from the mime type
         if (preg_match('@(shockwave|flash)@i',get_post_mime_type($idvc))) {
           echo do_shortcode('[swfobj src="'. wp_get_attachment_url($idvc) . '" dynamic_embed="true" play="false"]');
         }
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I think you could use the [Flash Video Player plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flash-video-player/)
   instead of SWFObj and modify the above code to match the fvp shortcode.
 * Good luck !

 * Yes, thank You for the answer.
 * I decided to go a different way, but I hazard to quess that many people will 
   find Your answer useful in the future!
