SWF Embedding problem

onesoftindiana

I'm trying to insert a swf file in my forum post.
In Preview mode the swf file is shown as embedded but when I post it the swf file do not appear .
What can be the possible issue ? How to embed swf and youtube videos in forum posts.

What editor are you using?

If you are only interested in Youtube/Vimeo embeds, simply post the link to the youtube video, it will automatically expand into the embedded player.

For other flash embed you probably need a plugin.

If this for a one off there is a plugin that disables sanitation for this with permission (raw html). Not this is not something you want to allow for your members.

Can you please briefly explain me the negatives of doing this ? Do give me a link to the plugin.
Thanks.

A swf is an executable, it can do all the nasty things that are possible with executable files.

The other negative of raw html is if it is malformed it can break that page. You are inserting in context, filters like htmLawed do a job at making sure the markup is insertable. Therefore you need to make sure the markup you insert is correct an not malformed.

You will need enable the permission.

You said you want allow it for file you host your self, but you don't want to allow people to upload swf.
