henke37 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I would be happy to see that we started using the free javascript class SWFObject to do the embedding, since it takes care of browser quirks like IE having the click to enable overlay. There is so many different ways of embedding flash, but few works without quirks, some can't do preloading, some plain does not work and some has the mentioned IE quirk. While talking about this subject, there is a few parameters to the embed code, such as allowing fullscreen and javascript from the flash "movie" I think that the admin should be able to chose those parameters easily in the acp, without having to modify the php sources. Since I got space left, I might as well ask for a tiny feature. Send the header for the downloads that means "this is not a valid cross domain policy file".
Mat Barrie Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I hate to break this to you, but IPB doesn't have a Flash BBcode. Perhaps you should take that up with your mod author?
bfarber Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Actually we do. :P You have to enable it. Format is [ flash=width,height] movie [/ flash]
Mat Barrie Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Actually we do. :P You have to enable it. Format is [ flash=width,height] movie [/ flash] Huh. I dug around, but couldn't find one. Interesting! I don't know about the cross-domain bit though - I thought the only way to do that was with a crossdomain.xml file, which they couldn't guarantee you'd want.
henke37 Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 The crossdomain thing is new to a lot of people, it's only in the absolutely latest player. Basically, they added meta policies in order to prevent "policies" from appearing where they should not. Part of this is understanding a http header that means that the request reply is NOT a valid policy file in any case.
KeithK Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Actually we do. :P You have to enable it. Format is [ flash=width,height] movie [/ flash] I tried this on my test board and couldn't get it to work? It is enabled but not parsing at all. Any ideas as to why that would be?
henke37 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 For those who are curious why flash is disabled by default, it is because Flash got some powerful tricks up it sleeve. For example, it can use the browser session to make http requests, the user's cookies included! Not to mention the simple fact that it can execute javascript. These capabilities can be disabled by the embed code.
dijares Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 bfarber (or someone who knows), Can you please explain how to do the flash enabler code? I tried it, and it's not working. Thanks!
bfarber Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 This isn't a support form. Really quickly 1) Under Security and Privacy set "Allow flash movies in posts and avatars?" to Yes 2) Under Topics, Posts and Polls set "Max. height of posted Flash movies (in pixels)" and "Max. width of posted Flash movies (in pixels)" 3) When posting the flash movie width and height MUST be lower than the settings in the ACP (or the tag simply isn't processed)
v33 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 is it possible to enable Flash only on specific forums for better security? it would be nice to grant exclusive access to trusted members that will maintain that part of the forum.
AbarJigs Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 i want to post the embedded flash code in my post.is it possible?? Suppose i want to add the flash player in my post ..how to do this? Here is the embedded Code<embed src="http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/mediaplayer.swf" width="400" height="20" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=20&width=400&file=http://abc.com/DemoPlayer/1Michhil by Kalponik/1Michhil-Kalponik.mp3" />
henke37 Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 That code requires the flashvars parameter and that is not supported by the bbcode parser at all.
AbarJigs Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Is there any other way to post this kind of flash object in a post?
Lindsey_ Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I think this is not the place ;)[b]Do you need technical support?[/b] You can obtain support via the client area, or you can try to obtain peer-to-peer support at IPS Resources.
henke37 Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Well, there is always raw html... But then you don't need to think hard to add in some malicious scripting. If you got some regex skills and php skills, you could mod the ipb php level code to add in support for this parameter. Or just load a wrapper movie that loads the other one in the right way, but then you need a flash compiler and those usually cost.
