This module is an extension to the CKEditor module.
It also supports CKEditor installed through the Wysiwyg module.
It seriously enhances CKEditor's outdated Flash plugin:
with CKEditor SWF, inserting a SWF animation, a FLV video or a MP3 audio file becomes as easy as inserting an image file: just pick up a SWF, FLV or MP3 file from IMCE (or CKFinder) and that's it!
It is composed of 2 parts:
- A client-side CKEditor plugin that adds many features and fixes to CKEditor's default Flash plugin:
- Allows SWF animation, FLV video and MP3 audio files easy embedding
- Retrieves width and height from the SWF or the FLV file
- Adds a lock/unlock button to maintain aspect ratio while changing width or height
- Adds a button to reset width/height to the SWF file's default dimensions
- Allows width/height percentage values
- Adds a textfield in Properties tab to edit the base parameter
- Adds a Flashvars tab to edit the flashvars parameter
- Displays a real preview
- Fixes various bugs of the default plugin
- New (experimental, in dev)! Allows to directly paste a YouTube video URL into CKEditor SWF to embed it!
- A server-side input format filter that converts the Flash embedding markup generated by CKEditor into a standards compliant one:
By default, CKEditor generates a <object><embed></embed></object> markup, which is not standards compliant.
CKEditor SWF Filter converts it into the correct <object><object></object></object> markup.
If you prefer, CKEditor SWF Filter can also use the SWFObject JavaScript library to embed the Flash content.
