Can I post a piece of Flash?


Recommended Posts

For the 1vs100 topic I want to place this in it

http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/F4F451BD-EAB2-49AB-99C4-F053B39AF4CC/0/fullSchedule_2.swf?xmlHref=/NR/rdonlyres/3B5DFEE0-F99C-4C7D-BC78-9D7BB9D4BE46/0/dev_enGB_fullSchedule.xml

And I wonder how I go about doing so?

Or even use the HTML option?

I thought we had the option, but I can't seem to get it working. Perhaps we limited it only to YouTube videos.

A dev would be able to confirm this. Don't take my word just yet :p

We have the following option:

[flash=320,240]FlashUrlHere[/flash]

However the URL has to end with '.swf' - it's a limitation with the plugin we use here that the URL in your first post won't be permissable as it has a long querystring on the end of it.

Ah, I didn't put the size in.

You can hack the above URL in by putting &.swf at the end.

EDIT: But apparently that SWF doesn't like being embedded or something because it won't work.

Thats because the url your posting also includes ?xmlHref=/NR/rdonlyres/3B5DFEE0-F99C-4C7D-BC78-9D7BB9D4BE46/0/dev_enGB_fullSchedule.xml

?xmlHref=http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/3B5DFEE0-F99C-4C7D-BC78-9D7BB9D4BE46/0/dev_enGB_fullSchedule.xml

but that just throws a sandbox violation (you cant load the xml file from xbox.com when the swf is hosted at neowin)

off-topic but allowing users to embed flash in your document is a very bad idea because it allows them to inject code into neowin which can easily be used to crash the users browser or worse exacute malicious javascript

I was actually wondering about something similar. I want to make my signature a GoogleVoice Call Widget. They gave me this, obviously html.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://clients4.google.com/voice/embed/webCallButton" width="230" height="85"><param name="movie" value="https://clients4.google.com/voice/embed/webCallButton" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="FlashVars" value="id=12319b20a1a5ed2513eef05dd31160e589cd8952&style=0" /></object>

Is it do-able?
