Flash BBCODE that works

[Zachery]

ive seen alot of people asking for it so here it is




<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="{param}">
<embed src="{param}" width="550" height="400" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>
it works, :) enjoy

[Brad.loo]

Allowing users to embed flash is a security risk..

[Zachery]

im aware of it but ive seen quite a high demand for allowing the code, so why not give it to the masses, altho in vB3 i dont think its AS big of a security risk

[maurier]

show me detail I have installed but not working

how do i do this ?
Replacement ( your code ) !
Example ?
Use {option} ?

[Zachery]

i didnt think an exmaple is nessary IMO thats only nessary if another admin wants to edit it really.

Add Custom BB Code
yes replacement my code
Example non
use option no.

Excelent Faranth, Thanx !

But we still need a entry for height and width... i'm thinking in a custom js to create the buttom, but is the BB code able to read multiple parameters?
Hmmm... still looking for a solution ;)

[deathemperor]

ok, Faranth is good
but I will prefer for a more simple one: ( I dont think all the flashes have the same height and width, so just let it be what it is ^ ^ )

<embed src="{param}" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
that's what you need to put in replacement area, example is whatever you placed above, if you use: <flash> </flash> ( replace '[' with '<' because when I set [ it cant be showed ) then just put between that tag the url of the flash file (*.swf) (e.g: <flash>www.http://boombastick.net/main_07.swf</flash> ) and this one does not use the {option} so you must chose no , if you chose yes it would never work.
and, you can use this for music/movie files (any Window Media Player Files ), just replace the pluginspage value. it's very very easy ! and my site have a lot of music/movie online, my members are crazy of them so I think you would too.

[Zachery]

i think if you leave the size / width outtait they will auto size

[Acido]

i think if you leave the size / width outtait they will auto size
Not so easy :(

[Zachery]

hmm? whats not so ez?

[Acido]

hmm? whats not so ez?
I tried the code without height and width, but the swf file have not auto size. It adjust to the space available in the post.

However, your code is my best option today ;)

[manguish]

Does this have to have the forum it`s being posted in have html enabled?

[Brad.loo]

It will work in any forum with bbcode enabled.

[manguish]

Cheers ;)

Guys, YOUR CODE DOSENT WORK.
BOTH bring up errors. http://naturalflux7.com/boxofficeimages/BANNER.SWF" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

[Zachery]

O.o it works fine, i testted it 5 times before releasing it

[ProxyMX]

the only thing that seems to be working for me is raw HTML code, and that means i have to allow users HTML in their sigs, something im not keen on at all.

[wnxwakko]

I simply use this.


<embed src="{param}" width="300" height="75" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
Have been using it for months with no problem.

[neverrain]

Instead of using a set height and width, how would you go about adding two options for these settings?

[SaN-DeeP]

i only want that this tag to be used by 3 usergroups on my forum and not anyone else.
how can i enable this :S ?

thnx :)

[Cloud Strife]

I dont understand... How can this be classed as a security risk???

[Merjawy]

Flash does work, however.. making it hard if not worse to control that thread.. as the flash will show on top of the thread options drop down menu

[wez1981]

But what if i want to make some pre-defined flash movies for members to use in their posts... can i get rid of the "prompt" that comes up when they click on one of the buttons in the Reply Form?

[wez1981]

Dont all rush at once like.

[Floris]

Have you tried replacement variables?
{flash1}
{flash2}
could point to default flash movies..

[wez1981]

Great stuff - thanks ;)

Better late than never eh XD

[John Campbell]

I am sorry where does this go actually? I would like to add this myself if you guys dont mind. Can some one point me in the right direction so I know where to add the code? Thank you.

[XBLUEX]

Hello,

I typed down the code into the Replacement field, left the example empty, and put 'Use Option' as no. I use something like ... and it doesn't do anything, could someone please help me on which BBCode to use at the end?!

[Zachery]

URL

[XBLUEX]

Thanks! It worked.

[XBLUEX]

Hello again, isn't there anyway to control the size of the displayed SWF cause this one does not display it in the default size of the movie.

[Zachery]

Remove the size settings that I added, it was a precautationary measure

[XBLUEX]

I am really sorry for the trouble. I removed the size parameters and now the files show at a very small size, isn't there anyway so that the size parameters can be configured while calling the BBcode?

[acidburn0520]

Man, I've been looking far and wide for a working Flash vBCode. This is really ticking me off... everyone else seems to get it to work for them, but it's a no-go for me.

The replacement code I'm using:

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="{param}">
<embed src="{param}" width="550" height="400" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>

The vBCode I'm using:

http://www.flashopensource.com/swfs/16.swf (http://www.flashopensource.com/swfs/16.swf)

The end result:

http://www.flashopensource. com/swfs/16.swf"> http://www.flashopensource. com/swfs/16.swf" width="550" height="400" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">

I already posted it in how do I area for somebody else that ask before.

[somasimple]

Is it possible to adapt this one;

http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=126324

It worked fine with my previous forums?

[Kuimera]

You guys talk about like all of us know what we are doing... I just started to use vbs, don´t expect all of us to know all.

Can you please tell us "noobs" how the hell how to put this code to work step by step?

In phpbb was very easy, but again, i´m usng vbs not phpbb.

Hope that any one with some patience, can help us (the ones that coudnt put this code to work)

[Kuimera]

I made some research last night, and i found this:

Hope that I could help some of you, it worked fine for me.

[somasimple]

Hi All,

I tried that one and it worked but is it possible to put the width and height options?

[redraider]

It works fine for me in internet explorer but the flash doesnt show up in Mozilla. Any help?

[iogames.com]

Ok can someone sumarize the code + image + usergroups + 'how do I center the movie on the center of the thread?

Thanks :D

[GillianFoley]

Thanks for this. I got mine to work :)

[beejeebers]
