How does this work, as i can find no documentation for it?? Do i still need to add code to the head of my page also (like i would with a normal XHTML document)?

Ok,

First download the file function.object.php and put it inside your /plugins directory

To view documentation go to Extensions -> Tags and locate object and click help.

a simple application with flash would be:

Code: Select all

{object src="/uploads/movie.swf" width="500" height="500" class="yourCssClass"}
the class is optional, let me know if you did it work.

Good luck
