    I was trying to play a flash clip in one of the wiki page, but there was nothing display. The code I used is

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    text
    Copy to clipboard
    {FLASH(movie=>D:\My Documents\Max\Option.swf, quality=>high,height=>500,width=>650)}{FLASH}


    Is this a correct code to use?

    TIA.

    I see on PluginFlash_corrected that a URL is used for the file location, so try "http://www.mydomain.com/Option.swf" or whatever the correct address is.

    That path (following "movie=>") looks like the path on your local computer. You need to upload (ftp) the .swf file to your Tiki server and then use the server's path to your file in the plugin.

    I tried saving the flash file to the files gallery and link it from there. Like this

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    {FLASH(movie=>http://xxx.x.x.x/tiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=23,height=>616,width=>800,quality=>high)}{FLASH}


    It does not help....maybe the flash file is a bit big (like 406kB)....does it matter?? I can see that the status bar is running but after 5 mins....it is still blank.

    Maybe I'll have to ftp the file to the server and I will try that later on. However, won't this limit the other users (aside from the administrator) that they cannot attach any flash or wmv files to the wiki page??😑

    The flash file needs to be FTP/SCP uploaded.

    You cannot upload it into a gallery or wiki page attachment and make it work.
