Hi there

I use an xslt file/macro for this, as follows

[code]

]>
<>
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">

<script type="text/javascript"><br />
<![CDATA[<br />
var path = "]]><xsl:value-of select="$videopath" /><![CDATA[";<br />
var videowidth = "]]><xsl:value-of select="$videowidth" /><![CDATA[";<br />
var videoheight = "]]><xsl:value-of select="$videoheight" /><![CDATA[";<br />
var s1 = new SWFObject(path,"Pindar SWF",videowidth,videoheight,"9","#FFFFFF");<br />
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");<br />
s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");<br />
s1.addParam("wmode","transparent");<br />
s1.write("container");<br />
]]><br />
</script>

[/code]

To use this I set up a media type of "swf" with datatypes for width and height, and included a macro parameter of mediacurrent that allows the user to pick the swf file using the insert macro link in the wysiwyg.

This code also relied on swfobject.js

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for ur response, i changed the xslt file according ur code, but first where i have to store flash fies. means
how to create media type and after creation of macro how i cal this macro in the Master template. please let me know the solution.

Hi there

Media types are set up in the "settings" section of the backend and choose them using a macro parameter of "mediacurrent". Then when you click on the "insert macro" button within the template editor you will have an option to choose a flash file.

3).Then i create macro(MyFlashmacro) with parameters as :
Alias:flashfile ,Name:Flash File, Type:Mediacurrent
Alias:flashwidth, Name:Flash Width, Type:Number
Alias:flashheight, Name:Flash Height, Type:Number

4).Iam going to my Main template(iam already post this template) and trying to insert macro but it does not ask for any flash file it just inserted as :


.................. This is the problem where iam doing mistake.please don't mind iam confused in learing it properly
pls help me. what is the correct total procedure to insert flash into our site. Thanks in advance........

Whenever you insert the macro with mediacurrent it allow you to choose a file from the media library. Is this not happening?

is working on a reply...
