You can make this with XSLT.

First of all you make your XSLT-macro and includes it in the template you want the flash to be vissible in.

Then in the XSLT you can write this:

<xsl:variable name="flashUrl" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data [@alias = 'mainFlash'], 'false')/data [@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/>
   <div id="flashContainer">
       <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{$flashUrl}" width="600px" height="250px">
           <param name="movie" value="{$flashUrl}" />
           <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
           <embed src="{$flashUrl}" width="600" height="250" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
       </object>
   </div>

This is one way to do it. In this example you will write out your div-tag in the XSLT also.

And remember to adjust the width and height, so it matches the sizes that you use in your site. Also remember to change the alias to whatever your flash-field is called.

If you have any more questions to the above code, don't hesitate to ask again :)

Hi Kim,

I have found this Topic

http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/2913-Inserting-flash-by-end-users

I have test it.. but its not work... i very new with umbraco :-)

Did you remember the swfObject.js?? :)

Yes i have copy the swfobject.js in my Root/scripts Folder

I have download the newest Version of swfscript ..

Is this a Problem ? must i use a older Version ?

I have copy the swfobject Version 2.2 under Root/Scripts

OK here my Thing

I have a Homepage with a Flash Placeholder on the Top of the Page
Must i have a separate Placeholder or is correct when i only have a Div Tag in my Masterpage for
hold my Flash Banner ???

All my Flash Banners on top always have the same Width and Height ....
On each of my Page i must Load a other Flash Banner (.swf File)

I have my Banners make with a Tool hes generate the swf File and each swf File have
a XML File in Background with the Path of the Images wehere Load in this SWF..

OK i will on each Page a Toolbar Button, and when i click on this
then can i Insert the Flash File from my Media Galery with a Media Picker...
and then the Flash must play on this Page at the Top in my Flash DIV Tag..

Hi there

If you're using the solution from http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/2913-Inserting-flash-by-end-users?p=0#comment9539 then it uses swfobject 1.5 and the latest version won't work without a little bit of tweaking.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi Dandyrayne,

Is this a Problem when i use Version 1.5 ?

It is not better when i use the newest Version ???

Yeh maybe, but at the end of the day all it does is insert a flash file on a page and 1.5 seems to do that without any problem.

I should update that code to use the new version though

Thanks,

Ok then i wait of the new Code for the Version 2.2

Thanks

I have test at this time with Version 1.5.1

When i show in my Source Code the Path to my SWF File is alway emty

I become alway this in my Source ?

I have make a new Tab in my Document Type and Insert a MediaPicker ?

Howdy

I've packaged an updated version of that script, which now uses standard media type and the new version of swfobject.  You should find that much easier to install and use.

Hi Dandrayne,

Ok i have Installed your File...

I have insert the Macro in my Masterpage Flash Content Placeholder
and set the Parameters Widt and Height and set the Video ID to the Name of my DIV Tag
"flashLayer" where i will insert the Flash File ??

Then i go to Settings /Document Types and make a new Tab in my Textpage.
In this insert a new Property:
Name: Flash BAnner
Alias: FlashBanner
Type: Media Picker
Tab: Flash Banner

Then i go to a Page and go to the Tab Flash Banner an select a Flash File with the Media Picker
and save this..

Then i start my Page and show in the Source Code
The var path = ""; is Emty ????

Is this the correct Way ???
My Code becomes not the File Name of my Flash File where i set in the Media Picker

What am I doing wrong

ooh, let's see.

• The .swf file should be uploaded to the media library, as a standard "file" media type.
• Install the package
• Within the editor on any page use the "insert macro" button and select "insert flash file"
• Use the picker to select the flash file from the media library, add an ID and width and height
• Save and publish

And that's it.  You don't need to add any new fields to a document type using this macro

Hi,

Ok but i have only one Editor Field for my Content !!

my Flash Banner is in a separate Content Place Holder ...

I will the flash File not show in my Content Section, i will the Flash File show in a DIV Tag "flashLayer"
at the top of my Page
My Content is separtate ...

Ahh ok, the package won't work for you then.

You could use the same xslt as a starting point, and depending on how you're setting the flash file the variables will change

I have now insert your xslt Code above in my InsertFlashFile.xslt

I become now a Error by saving the File

Error occured

System.Xml.Xsl.XslLoadException: 'xsl:if' kann kein untergeordnetes Element des 'xsl:stylesheet'-Elements sein. Fehler bei D:\InetPub\wwwroot\www.almrausch.at\Umbraco\xslt\633913042719540000_temp.xslt(16,1).

I think its better when i give you a account from my Demo Site
to show the Problem... I a very Newbie with Umbraco :-)

What you think?

Err ok, if it gets your issue sorted!

Mail me at

dan [at] geckonm [dot] com

xsl:if cannot be a child of xsl:stylesheet, it has to be in a template.

OK i have send you an Email with the Data

Thanks

or inside the variable

Very true, I should really test before posting!  But where's the learning value in that eh ;-)

For reference, here's working xslt for a flash file chosen via a mediapicker on the page on which it is to be displayed. (also using hardcoded height etc for speed)

Hi,

It works perfect !! Thanks

Can i with my Technik you have insert make the following ?

In my Tab "Flash Banner" where i set the Flashfile with the MediaPicker
ad a Textfield wher i can set a Parameter for my Flash File ???

This is so: I must send a Flash Parameter to my Flashfile when Load this
Like so: AlbumID="1"

My FlashFile wait for a Variable to Load the right Album


Thanks

Hi Wachter

You need to look at the "flashvars" part of swfobject, your vars will probably go here

var flashvars = {};

is working on a reply...
