New Posting Features - Flash BBCode with size option

I've been looking for a way to get flash embedded for awhile now with the option to enter in the width and height. after getting nowhere (searched alot) and turning up nothing I started looking at the code and realized that the {param} area or option area can be inside the actual url to the file itself. by putting the paramater field into the embeds parameter field you can not only increase the width and hight but set it however you want. autoplay or quality, etc.

I realize that this may be a security risk so it would be a good idea to restrict it to a certain usergroup who can use it that you trust or disable it and not use it completely. This can be only done in 3.6.8 via this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...122942&page=13 but as of right now it looks like 3.7.3 doesn't work with it. although some users do report being able to make it work in that thread with 3.7.x but I will not support this as it is not my code and its for an older version of vbulletin. I thought that since alot of people seem to be looking for this that it might be useful to some. Enjoy but use at your own risk.

If there was another mod similar I am sorry. please let me know and I will react accordingly.

Edit: changed the param and option tags around so that the url to the file would be the inbetween lines and the flash options (width, height, etc) would be the options. This makes more sense from a coding point of view to me and the users as well. as most vb code usually had the link to the actual media in the middle of the tags.

Change Log

1.0.2 - added allowScriptAccess = "never" to code to limit the scripting from the flash objects a little. not perfect but a step in the right direction. flash still works. only scripts cannot be executed on updated flash players in most browsers.
1.0.1 - reversed option and parameter tag to give more bbcode style look

Copyright
None. Go nuts.

If I can ask a stupid question... is it a security risk if it's your own flash game?
