Is there an easy way to upload flash movies into posts so that they are viewable in the message area?

We use our forum as a company intranet so I am not worried about the usual security issues with flash on open forums.

All I need is a way to upload the movies into a post so that the flash movies actually play in the post.

I searched the posts, I know you can do it by referencing a remote swf file but I want to be able to attached the file to the post.

Its for our designer who is not very technical so I need something easy to use.

Thanks in advance.

You can specify types of files that are allowed to be uploaded in the admin panel, as to making it play the movie, maybe you can take a que from how it handles jpgs ....

*waits for someone who knows what there really doing to come along*

$hit (sorry for my language), this is easy to do, just go to your admin cp and go to:
Custom vB Codes>Add

and put in the following:

vB Code tag: flash
vB Code replacement: < embed src={param } type=application/x-shockwave-flash>< /embed>
vB Code example: [flash ]Your URL to your flash movie just for an ex.[ /flash]
vB Code explanation: Your own explanation
Use {option } ?: No

remember, to remove spaces from [ and flash] and [ and /flash] and anything that's < and > and also anything between { and }

good luck

Yeah I know that method, but the thing is I want to be able to upload the flash movie into the forum not reference it from a remote site.

Is there a way I can set width and height for the flash files? All of the flash files are shown in a small box. I need some to be show as 449 x 82, etc.

The replacement code should have been:

Code:

<embed src={param} width=600 height=750 type=application/x-shockwave-flash></embed>

with the width and height adjusted to your liking.

You should use caution when allowing users to upload flash objects into their posts as flash is just as dangerous as HTML (cookie stealing, virus linking, etc.)

Code:

<embed src="{param}" width="600" height="750" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>

I like to quote parameters
