Can we have an [swf] tag? It'd be better than to have to link to the swf illustrations I make outside the board, it won't be that hard to program...(I can give you the code myself if vBulletin and IPB codes are the same)

Or maybe allow swf to be attached with posts?

There is already an option to embed media files like video, movie, flash, blogmedia, youtube directly in posts. Just use the media tag.

The following code

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHe3ag3i8v8[/media]

would look as follows

Well it seems to accept Flash but it's a bit buggy, the file won't show up but I tried one with a Mouse.hide(); function in it (which cause the mouse to flicker) and it did, but the file itself doesn't show up in the post:

EDIT: hmm, instersting what is embedded in the code of the post (right click on thepost and click View Page Source)

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data=".../Temp/Player.swf"  >

	<param name="movie" value=".../Temp/Player.swf" />

	<img src="http://brainden.com/forum/public/style_images/master/noflash.png" alt="" />

</object>

I will look into it and let you know. Any particular swf file for testing?

If you need one for testing here's a small simple one:

http://anzapower.webs.com/Temp/Player.swf

(I know all my links point to anzapower.webs which might make it look like I own a whole site but in fact this is only a webs account I use to upload all sorts of random pages and swf files so it's not really a site)

If you want I once made a spoiler tag for another site but in vB, if they're both the same I can provide the code to make a Flash one...

The media tag is fixed now.

I advise to embed only smaller flash files for faster loading.

^ Works perfectly, thanks...
