 * Hey
 * I want to insert my own Flash Video Player into a post/page by using [cft format
   = 0)
 * The Cft Template looks like:
    [video] type = file relation = true
 * The format #0 looks like: (‘use php’ is checked)
 *     ```
       <div id="video-container"><object id="player" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" name="player" width="500" height="300">
       		<param name="movie" value="<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/video/player.swf" />
       		<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
       		<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
       		<param name="flashvars" value="file=<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url('[Video]'); ?>" />
               <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/video/player.swf" width="500" height="300">
       		<param name="movie" value="<?php bloginfo('template_url') ?>/video/player.swf" />
       		<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
       		<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
       		<param name="flashvars" value="file=<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url('[Video]'); ?>" />
   
       		<p><a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer">Get Flash</a> to see this player.</p>
       		</object>
       	</object></div>
       ```
   
 * Everything seems to work so far, except **<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url(‘[
   Video]’); ?> **
 * echo ‘[Video]’; returns the right attachment id, and if i exchange this id with‘[
   Video]’ like: wp_get_attachment_url(176) everything is fine.
    I’ve also tried
   to declare a new var with get_post_meta[…], tried to put [Video] in a new variable,
   tried to get the attachment id with other methods..but nothing worked, but i’m
   not a expert, and just might miss something.

 * ok, now i’ve finally found an other way to get the attachment url, but still 
   no luck.
    now i have $mypath which stores the path to the file but <param name
   =”flashvars” value=”file=<?php echo $mypath; ?>” /> also does not work inside
   this shortcode…the other template tags do theit jobs..weird.
