Hi there evryone

I'm trying to place a swf flash file in my ez publish site but i just can put swf files. I already read the ez publish manual but i can´t find enything that explain me that, maibe ez publish don´t let us put swf files i guess!!! Mi idea was to make an animated infograf, but with flv files it wont alow the user to interact with the flash object like the swf files allow us, as you know, for exemple, put some buttons to display new info when we press that buton or simply display more info in some active areas of a picture with the simple mouse over.
I realy apreciate some help. I´m a student and me and my teem depend on it to finelize the final project of the graduation in journlisme.
Tanks evryone, i will whait for smoe help, please

There is a class called 'flash' that should work with swf files, but if I remember correctly you have to create them manually in the media library cause some content.ini or upload.ini settings are missing to make eZ Publish understand that this class should be used for swf files.
(It creates it as a 'file' object instead, witch doesn't have templates that handles swf files like the 'flash' object does).
