The option is there to show controls when you set the properties on a flash file but they don't show. What am I missing?

Hey Icthus, have a look at http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/. This is a great way to put flash on a page, and you can just paste the code into the codeview in FCK.

Just save this file in the wwwroot of your site, rename it to "swfobject.js", then insert flash using this code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent">
  This text is replaced by the Flash movie.

<script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "200", "8", "#336699");
   so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

This allows search engines to see the text you put in the div, for SEO purposes. It also soves the IE 'click to activate and use this control' problem. And you can add as many parameters as you want (see the page referenced above for details). It is a MUCH better way to insert Flash into your pages.

We have a free module called digFlash that uses the swfobject framework to insert flash files.

Thanks,
