flash attachment hack needed

[nickrabbit]

Hi there-

I'm a developer for a major kids' website and we are starting to use vBulletin as a forum in our production process. Problem is, I can't quite figure out how to hack the vbulletin board to allow flash attachments in posts (without having to put the in a zip file or something). Additionally, it'd be nice if those flash attachments could automatically display in the board if possible, but I won't hold my breath. Could be I'm just missing something obvious here, in which case be nice, , but I just don't have time to be searching endlessly for this much needed code bit. HTML will be turned on in the boards-- We don't have to worry so much about ill intentioned flash files making it into this board since a very select group of people will have access, and we'll be monitering everyone... So... any ideas?

I realize I could use a customized VB script to insert a flash file into a post, but I really want to be able to upload as an attachment, not point to the flash file that exists elsewhere on the server.

So far I found a couple vbulletin postings, but they weren't helpful, especially since the first one was from 2001(!!)
