Media type either flash file or image file

Hi,

A client wants the ability to choose either flash files or images via their media picker field, so I need a way of checking that the item is a .swf first (and presenting it in the appropriate HTML if so) or else returning the image in an <img> tag.

Is the best way to code this in a macro, or can it be done neatly in the template?

Thanks all

You can check
```
umbracoExtension
```
For the filetype, e.g.
```
umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data [@alias='myField'], false)/data [@alias='umbracoExtension']
```
Hope this starts you in the right direction

Thanks Dan - for the record the following code seems to work (although I've no doubt it could be cleaner/better)

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:variable name="mediaId" select="/macro/mediaId" />
 <xsl:if test="$mediaId &gt; 0">
     <xsl:variable name="mediaNode" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaId, 0)" />
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data [@alias='bannerGraphic'], false)/data [@alias='umbracoExtension'] != 'swf'">
             <img src="{$mediaNode/data[@alias='umbracoFile']}" alt="" title="" />
           </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>
             <object width="957" height="156">
                   <param name="movie" value="{$mediaNode/data[@alias='umbracoFile']}" />
                  <embed src="{$mediaNode/data[@alias='umbracoFile']}" width="957" height="156"></embed>
                </object>             
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
