Include flash objects directly

Ciusbet 18 Mar 2007 14:28

Hi, I want to create an existing animation flash from one page. I have the code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" width="550" height="400">
<param name=movie value="http://www.madnesscombat.com/toons/madness-depredation.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<param name="wmode" value="Transparent">
<embed src="http://www.madnesscombat.com/toons/madness-depredation.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi? P1_Prod_Version=Shockwave
Flash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="400">
</embed>

Can I include the code in my page? are there any method to do it?

Thx

I'm trying to embed flash from the Wall St Journal site:

I've read these posts but still can't get it to work. Any ideas?

I have deleted this post as it gave an incorrect solution. For the correct solution see further down the thread.

Rob, Thanks for replying so fast. I get the same problem. I can display the player, but I can't get the video to start, and I don't know why.

OK, solved. You can do this with html and then reference it in an iframe.

So in your page enter the following code. You'll see that the embed code inside the body section.

[[collapsible show=" " hide=" "]]
[[code type="html"]]
<html>
 <head>
    <title>WSJ</title>
  </head>

<body>

<embed src="http://s.wsj.net/media/swf/main.swf" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoGUID={1F02EFEC-569A-4FED-9BF9-D89CD6E57AD0}&playerid=1000&plyMediaEnabled=1&configURL=http://wsj.vo.llnwd.net/o28/players/&autoStart=false” base="http://s.wsj.net/media/swf/" name="flashPlayer" width="512" height="363" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed>

</body>
</html>

[[/code]]
[[/collapsible]]

And then immediately below that on the same page you do an [[iframe... and reference the html code, in this case it's the second html code on my sandbox page which is why I have../code/2.. If this is the only (or first) html code on your page it would be ../code/1…

[[iframe http://strathviewconsultants.wikidot.com/support:flash/code/2 frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="512" height="363px"]]

Unlike some others here at wikidot, I do enjoy trying to get external content to embed in wiki pages. Let me know if you still have a problem with it.

Rob, Applause! You nailed it. Thanks a lot! Stay warm there.

P.S. I want to ask why embedding html in WikiDot is so clunky, but I guess it's just an artifact of the design and there's nothing to be done about it?

it does work gerdami. if you det it wrong and then recode to make it right, you MUST clear out your cache and then have a look again. this is tru for ALL html in iframe.

Try Embedding Video here. I know you can embed flash from other websites :

Note, I've never tried this.

Hi,

sorry, this will not work because an embedded pattern must match any of predefined patterns now. But I am working on a way to include ANY kind of flash object. This would be fixed then.

Was there any progress with this?

I might try a solution using IFrame - but it would be more beneficial (well to me anyway) to be able to include any old flash animation :)

Thanks

Not exactly an ideal solution, but it does work for those who are interested.

Quick steps:

Create a html file containing your standard <CONTENT> stuff. Host it somewhere you can easily get to.

Then you'll want some IFRAME code on your wikidot page. Something like:

[[iframe http://www.baditude.plus.com/playswf.html scrolling="no" width="655" height="475"]]

The main issue for me is that I'm embedding a flash menu. So now it wants to change my embeded frame to the desired page. I just had to make sure that within the flash file it changes the _top or _parent page. Also I get a bit of a pause when you click on a link.

Not ideal - so if anyone has found a better way - please share.

Cheers
