    Insert Flash from page

    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.

    Hope someone can help

    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.

    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 "&#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" 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 ">

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

    <xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
       
    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:value-of select="/macro/imageID/*/umbracoFile"/>
    </xsl:template>

    </xsl:stylesheet>



    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 :-)
