Greg Sanderson	Thursday 04 December 2008 7:45:07 am Hi, When I embed an SWF file using the OE Editor's paperclip icon the upload works and in the editor I get the paperclip icon appear for the SWF. However when I then publish the page the Flash does not appear. I looked at the code using 'View Source' and the Flash IS there, BUT the width and height are 0, so of course the browser does not show it. Is this a bug? Why does the default template not detect the width and height of the object? Would I need to add custom attributes to embedded content so the user could specify the width and height, but if so these would look like they applied to images too which are embedded in the same way. Has anyone else had this problem? I am using 4.0.1

Hi,

When I embed an SWF file using the OE Editor's paperclip icon the upload works and in the editor I get the paperclip icon appear for the SWF.

However when I then publish the page the Flash does not appear. I looked at the code using 'View Source' and the Flash IS there, BUT the width and height are 0, so of course the browser does not show it.

Is this a bug? Why does the default template not detect the width and height of the object? Would I need to add custom attributes to embedded content so the user could specify the width and height, but if so these would look like they applied to images too which are embedded in the same way.

Has anyone else had this problem? I am using 4.0.1
