TinyMCE Talk:Plugins/media

From Moxiecode Documentation Wiki

It would be very nice if someone could write about getting Flash-video to work. It seems not to work without changes or additions. The forum has a lot of questions about that and only uncertain answers. --Svend 16:53, 16 February 2009 (CET)

It works perfectly fine. All unit tests pass. And I tested the process in IE6, IE7, FF 2, FF 3, Opera 9.5, Safari 3, Chrome 1 on multiple operating systems. So I don't know what they are all babbling about.

When working with Flash, it seems that the Media Plugin strips certain parameters from the <object> tag, only allowing them to appear in <param> tags. This is a problem when you'd like the flash movie to have an id attribute that Internet Explorer can read. Among other things, the lack of the <object id=""> parameter disallows use of the flash function ExternalInterface(), which provides a javascript port to your as code.
