Hello all,

I am very new to DNN and our web developer has built a site around DNN 4.x for me.  We have a monthly online magazine in which I need to present flash (.flv) videos.  I currently use the Tererik RAD editor in rich text mode to lay out the articles.  I have a great flash player that is supposed to be easily embedded using java script calls... for example:

<script type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0','width','482','height','557','id','Zoom','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','/portals/0/zoom/Zoom_Playlist','bgcolor','#000000','menu','false','FlashVars',"playlist=http://dnnultimate.emboldendesign.com/portals/0/zoom/streaming.xml&fullscreen=http://dnnultimate.emboldendesign.com/portals/0/zoom/Fullscreen.swf" ); //end AC code </script>

Now this worked just fine on our old static html website.  And it works fine in DNN provided that I enter into the editor in basic raw text mode.  But it just will not "take" in Rich Text mode.  That presents a big problem as I need this to insert into the rest of the magazine articles which are laid out with Rich Text mode.

So..........  could someone please give me more detail on why DNN requires Basic Text entry for javascript like this?  What kind of workarounds are there (gotta be other people who find this to be a big problem, no)?  Where should I even be looking for answers (maybe which forum here is most appropriate)?  Would switching to a different editor like FCKeditor solve the issue or is it more a core DNN issue?

Thanks for all the help!  Just frustrated, lost, and eager to learn the real story...

Best,
Jeff

Interesting, thanks for the fast response!  The flash player I'm referencing has some unique controls and options that I had an oustide developer create for me.  I also have a couple of other javascript based objects I'd like to drop in... so, my question remains:  Is there a way to include java script through a Rich Text editor with DNN?

Thanks,

Jeff

Interesting, that works!  A bit cumbersome, though.  If I want to put "stuff" above and below the javascript, I'll need to manually cut and paste it's html above and below.... sort of defeats the purpose of my nice "wyswyg"!  Do all Editors behave this way with DNN (we use the r.a.d.editor now)?  Do any of them not "mangle" javascript?

Thanks!

Jeff
