How to get .swf (flash files) to display from a forum post ?
Hi All,
I would really like to be able to attach .swf files to my threads (as links only) and when the link is clicked on, launch a browser window that plays the .swf movie (flash movie) I have tried this with a test 2.3.0 vB, but it doesn't work, the browser window opens and has a broken link image...and nothing happens... ... let me explain what im after a bit more ... I enable .swf files as valid attachments. Disable HTML. Configure to show attachments as links only. *All the above done in vB admin.* OK... scenario.... you have a thread that you post with an attachment called 'mymovie.swf' it shows as a link to 'mymovie.swf' you click on this link and it loads an attached file from the vB database into the opended browser window ... Once vB has opened the bowser window and loaded the attched file (mymovie.swf) the browser should kick in (flash player) and play the movie ... ?? Do you know what i mean ? Is this possible ? If not, can it be ?? What are the risks ?? (XSS) Cheers for your help...id really like to work this one out, as having the ability to have flash in my vB forum is crucial for a new site im hoping to launch soon Paul PS: I would really like to discuss the related security risks associated with XSS in relation to enabling .swf files on a vB forum...surely we can conquer this pain in the proverbial |
