Hello I am new to umbraco so pleas be patient. What I would like to make is that the end-user, from a page, can upload a swf file. For example, if I, on my home page, has an area where there must be a video which the user must be able to change them self. So there must be a tab on the page that contains the ability to choose a swf file from the Media
I know how I have created a tab through a document type, but I am unsure what to write in fields: Name, Alias and Type
I've looked at some examples here in the forum, but without success.
What I need is a thorough description of how to do it.
okay, I dont quite understand what you mean. I will try to describe my problem a little closer. I know I wrote that I would insert a flash, but for convenience's sake let's just insert an image.
I have an GetImageURL.xslt that looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]> <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" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets ">
Macro have I put into my template: <span class="spot spot1" style="background:url(<umbraco:Macro Alias="GetImageURL" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>) no-repeat;" onclick="showText(this.id)" id="et">
(I know it is not the right way to put the macro in, but I do not know how else I should do it.)
When I insert the macro, I am asked to choose an image (and the height and width, I think). Why is that?
And how do I get it to work with my front page where the user must insert the image / flash file?
Hope it gives a better picture of where I am in my project Umbraco :-)

Kate,
You need to create a field of type media picker you can give it whatever alias this will allow user to pick media item form the media section.
