Problem :: Inserting a *.swf flash file into the Page Content Area

[ImmortalSon]

Hey All...

I've been flicking through the forum trying to find a solution for this but to no avail!  I have went into the pages menu then in to edit the content of a website page.  The problem is I want to insert a Flash animation I created, into the middle of the page content.  I clicked on the Flash add/edit button in the WYSWYG editor but when I go through the pop up menu it never works!

When I click Apply and look at the page, I see it has tried to insert a Flash file with the dimensions I entered.  But the Flash just appears as a white space with no actual content!? 

Any help greatly appreciated...I'm whipped!!

Assuming you're using FCKEditor, use the "View Source" button and look at the HTML code that's being inserted for the Flash file. Does it look like it should? (Your Flash documentation will give examples of what it should look like.)

You can also copy and paste it here so we can look at it.

I have been working on flash files a while too but the solution that worked for me is this. I added a flash file into a template using this code:

Code: Select all

<object data="http://www.domainname.com/images/flashfilename.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="475" height="30">
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.domainname.com/images/flashfilename.swf" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="background" value="#FFFFFF" />
</object>
