This is the first part in a series of articles I will be writing on encoding Flash Video (flv files) using the Adobe CS3 Video Encoder. I intend to cover all aspects of flv encoding to help you to attain the best results possible. If you are using another software to encode your flv files, such as Adobe After Effects or Final Cut Pro, many of the principles will be the same.
This article is intended to address issues involving the use of add_post_meta and delete_post_meta in WordPress plugin design. These functions can be used to add or delete custom fields for a post, useful for plugin design as the value for the custom field can be entered via a form in the write page. The add_post_meta code would look something like this:
Erm, have you tried update_post_meta ?
Hi Johnbillion,
update_post_meta is a tidier way, true. But the problem still remains that if you hook it in using add_action as stated above, there will be instances where the function is called even though the form hasn’t been submitted (i.e. the post/page hasn’t been edited), like when a comment is approved.

The Peoples Studio website is built in flash backed up by php and xml scripts. It features an mp3 player, flash maps, contact forms for the different staff members and for showreel requests, and an animated intro. The site is powered by a bespoke CMS, which is built in php and allows the editing of every text-field in the entire site.
