Flash in Content

Damienov · 27.04.2004, 15:31

ok I know you can insert flash content using a wrapper/iframe bur would it be better to just add flash content directly to the content as in inserting images

I'm not a programer so I realy dont know why Flash content cannot be inserted to a content item, can anyone explain why?

cheers

go to
mambo root(folder where your mambo folders are)
administrator>content.php
you will find it under teh folder it is a file not folder!
open it in your favorite editor
and exc notpad
hit CTRL+F
paste this line in -

Code:

} else if (eregi( "bmp|gif|jpg|png", $file2 )

hit enter
when you find that line replace it with this

Code:

} else if (eregi( "bmp|gif|jpg|png|swf", $file )

now you can directly upload swf files

it would be easier for you to try to wor with Dreamwiwer you can add anything you want
yust open the page ypu want to work on in DW and add everything you need
copy the code add it to the file ,transver pics,change path and valllaaaaaaaa

does this work? have you an example?

just because I think it wont work rreally as is...you need to have <object> and <embed> tages to display the .swf...i huess you could hack that in somewhere too but you also need to set size params etc..

anyways, i just use typed content and copy paste the flash code in the editor...and make sure to set the path to where I uploaded my .swf

actualy I did this so I could upload swf files to the mambo
I didin't try it out!hmm I think you right
Like I said anything I do I do in DW so I don't have to think about it to much!

I dont think it works just by adding few lines of code, or is it?? at least, if that is the case, wouldnt the core dev team already include it in the core long time ago?

As Mambosolition said you need <embed> and <object> tags for it
I've also tried it using a full html code from a static html to the editor and it still not working. The only time i've been successful adding flash to content is by using and Iframe.
and as a note the request for adding Flash into content is already asked from many people from the time of mambo 3.0.x
Is it a matter of commercial product vs GNU/GPL?

however this works with the normal html code into the editor see here
with such code includet:

Code:

<object classid="CLSID:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="280" height="130">
 <param name="movie" VALUE="yourfile.swf">
 <param name="quality" value="high">
 <param name="scale" value="exactfit">
 <param name="menu" value="true">
 <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
 <embed src="yourfile.swf" quality="high" scale="exactfit" menu="false"
        bgcolor="#ffffff" width="280" height="130" swLiveConnect="false"
        type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage
        ="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed>
</object>
