Please tell us a bit more.

Have you checked out Warren's package (CWS), that holds a ton of examples how you can get things done. http://our.umbraco.org/projects/

Do you only have 1 swf-file?

Does the swf-file need to be editable by the end-users in the future?

Have a look at this -> http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/2913-Inserting-flash-by-end-users

Hi Sniemuth,

Where do I need to paste the .swf file.

do I need to embed this <object tag> in <umbraco: macro> or any other tag.

Can you please paste the XSLT ... if I do need to create a macro.

I have copied the tag you metioned .. but it is not playing the file.

Hi Peter,

I have only one .swf file to be played without any user interaction.

Hi Amar

To make things easy I would do the following

1: Add an upload property to the document type (Which I imagine is maybe the one used for your frontpage?)

2: Upload your .swf in the content area on the specific document type

3: Create an XSLT macro, which looks like this (please notice that the code used is almost the same as the post ddrayne mentions above)

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
    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">


<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:variable name="swfFile" select="$currentPage/data [@alias='yourSwfFile']"/>

<!-- ============================================================= -->

<xsl:template match="/">
<div id="container"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
// Previous JavaScript code
var path = "]]><xsl:value-of select="$yourSwfFile" /><![CDATA[";
var videowidth = "]]>500<![CDATA[";
var videoheight = "]]>100<![CDATA[";
// Rest of JavaScript code
var s1 = new SWFObject(path,"Pindar SWF",videowidth,videoheight,"9","#FFFFFF");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
s1.addParam("wmode","transparent");
s1.write("container");
]]>
</script>


</xsl:template>
<!-- ============================================================= -->

Remember that this requires the swfobject.js

Hope that this makes sense and solves your problem.

If you don't want to do it with the option for uploading the .swf file to the document, which is using the .swf file you could also just hardcode it into your template instead. Then you would just need to write the following into your template.

<div id="container"><a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Previous JavaScript code
var path = "]]>http://yourdomain.com/swf/yourswffile.swf<![CDATA[";
var videowidth = "]]>500<![CDATA[";
var videoheight = "]]>100<![CDATA[";
// Rest of JavaScript code
var s1 = new SWFObject(path,"Pindar SWF",videowidth,videoheight,"9","#FFFFFF");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
s1.addParam("wmode","transparent");
s1.write("container");
</script>
