swf signature

[SpitFiR3]

Can any1 tell me the vbb code or how to enable swf flash signature in my message board. Thank you.

Just enable html and insert the code via html.

Or you could create a custom vb code

ie

..if you don't want to give your users html ability

both flashkit and werehere have custom [ swf] vB code. Werehere is a regular here, im sure if you ask nice, he will tell you how he did it (actualy, i think webstyles did it *shrug*)

I would also like to know how to do it...

Alright this is how you do it....

Load up the control panel, add a custom vB code name it or and insert the following into the code field <embed src="
create another custom code and name it or (corrisponding to the first one) put the following into the code field " quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
That should do it, to use it just type http://urltofile.swf

I must be missing something.

I tried. No go with the flash footer.

I got it to work by making the following 'vb code replacement' for my [flash] tag:

<embed src="{param}" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

i don't like this method of using swf by creating a custom vbcode through the control panels options, as you cannot specify the width and height of the flash movie.

I used werehere's method and actually hard coded it into functions.php.

so now my vbcode to insert a flash movie for example is

http://***.com/flash/movie.swf

this makes much more sense to me.

Unfortunately I cannot pass on the code as werehere requested that I not share it, you'll have to ask werehere yourself.

I have posted how to do this at least twice :)
Do a search an you will find it.
It only requires a custom vbcode, and YES you can setup height, width and anything you could on a embed tag from html.
It's just like were-here's code, starting on V2 you can use options and parameters on your custom codes, so no need for hacks ;)

hiya conan

you just jogged my memory
actually i have tried your method also, it worked well but not exactly what 'I' was looking for.

by hardocde mine into functions.php, when i disallow img code it also disallows the swf also which is quite practical.

Not sure if this has been done by anyone here (probably has)...
but this is what we use in sigs and also to input Flash into the User title area as an avatar.

*embed src=http://www.thehostsite.com/images/Ice2.swf width="90" height="60" border=0#

So it doesn't show up in this post....I have replace the ">" and "<"
respectively....

where * equals <

and # equals >

HTML code is off so you can in fact post:
<embed src=http://www.thehostsite.com/images/Ice2.swf width="90" height="60" border=0></embed>

;)

fruitsalad, I see your point, I on the other hand wouldn't want that, since img and swf are two different things ;), perhaps a disable SWF feature would be nice to have, but since most swf's are used on sigs you can always disabled the viewing of sigs
