I've researched this issue on the forum and found some possibilities, but don't see an answer, so I am posting here.

The issue is I cannot embed flash into a forum message.  I originally used the "Insert/Edit Flash" button, but that does not work.  I followed the previous advice and went to "Source" button and put it in there.  I even previewed it and works great.  When I Submit, it literally strips the embed code out of the message.

Here is the code for a particular message:

<embed src="/Portals/5/Forums/Software/MSOffice/AddressBookUsingLDAP.swf" width="900" height="700" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" play="false" loop="false" menu="true"></embed></span></p>

This line is consistently stripped anyway I try to sneak it in there.  No error, no nothing I can find.

Please help.

Found a possible answer after researching the forums a few more times.  It appears it's related to the security in the core of DNN.  It won't allow the embed natively.  Seems I wasn't the only one (i.e, YouTubeVideo).  My question is if this is indeed a problem, why have the flash embed feature out there?  Until the DNN core security issue is "resolved", this should be grayed, IMHO.

Nevertheless, I did get it to work with not putting the close in the embed code (i.e., </embed>).  This worked!  Fairly crazy.

Appreciate it you looking into it, as not having the ability to embed video's in a collaboration tool is pretty nuts.

I have done some testing with it and found out it is not related to the fck editor.  It is a Forum issue.  I would open a new issue to the gemini.
