Cool! Is there a way to pass arguments for the .swf that require them?

--NascifAbousalhNeto, 14-May-2007

Of course, what would you need? Like arguments to a flash application to reuse in your action script? I'll spin another version of the plugin today with added features so I can certainly add that at the same time.

For those newbies like me: I found I had to change the embedded tag a little from what is shown above, to this:

 [{arnaud.Flash src='yourAttachedFlash.swf' width='800' height='600' controls='true|false' play='true|false' loop='true|false' parameters='param1=value1&param2=value2'}] 

Thanks for the pointer Janne!

This still works great in 2.8.1, however, I found a minor bug. If you reference an attachment to the page and use the parameters, it will not find the attachment. You can either not use any parms or change the code to do the parms string append after the attachment calls.

Playing YouTube video with a Flash plugin for JSPWiki#

[{Flash src='http://www.youtube.com/v/k7C0cJeNsFg&hl=en&fs=1' controls= 'false' play='true'}]

The trick is that you have to extract the url from the embed code the YouTube provides. The plugin does everything else for you!

The original html code given (Where I have extracted the URL)was:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f-8EN4JUqT8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/f-8EN4JUqT8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
