I don’t get it. I downloaded it but I don’t understand what to do with the files. Do you know a place that I can just upload swf files and then embed a player?

Hi,
Have you checked this page http://flowplayer.org/player/index.html
The flowplayer it’s a nice one, but you have other. And you can also try the online video providers like revver.com, which you only need to upload the files, and then you put a link on your site to show the video. I mention revver.com, cause they have a cool feature, which let’s you customize their own player, where you can insert for example your logo. Check this post to see how it looks like http://flashenabledblog.com/2008/05/04/tutorial-actionscript-3-mouse-tracking-video-tutorial/
