I have a forum that allows the use of HTML code. If this is turned ON then surely it should parse HTML like any other? My problem is I want to display a flash file and at the moment it totally ignores the code:



<object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="406" height="197">
<param name=movie value="/forum/launch/test.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="/forum/launch/test.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="406" height="197">
</embed>
</object>


I already have the flash attachment hack and this works so I know it can be done. However, I want to place flash files in various parts of the posts so the flash attachements isn't an option for me. I've tried with the full url too and various other path options.

My forum is on an intranet, so I'm not concerned about the security risks that having flash and HTML coding on.

Any help appreciated.


P.S. I don't want to combine multiple hacks to produce this result, i.e. the 'Multiple Attachments Hack' and the 'Place Your Attachments Anywhere Hack' ;).

FWIW not many people would be able to help because we turn off HTML due to it's massive security risk ;)

Yep I understand that and I certainly wouldn't if it was on the Internet, but this forum is an intranet with known, trusted users - so for me its not a problem.
