I've been looking for a way to be able to insert a Flash object (swf) using the editor in a similar way that it currently handles inserting images.
I've found a patch for version 1 of the editor at [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=935650&group_id=75348&atid=543655] that supports including flash objects.
but the description suggests that it's incomplete (?) and it seems that it would require a rewrite to be compatible with v2 of the editor.
Has anyone had any success getting flash to work with version 2 of the editor?

What about turning your (great) patch into a plugin?
It actually isn't easy to install....

when you insert a flash piece it gets inserted into the editor as expected. When you click on the flash peice just inserted and click the 'flash' button on the toolbar it brings up the Movie properties dialog. The dialog loads the settings from the flash movie that you had click on in the editor (eg., the URL will show the correct url of the flash movie you are editing). Now when you click 'ok' (after making changes to the form or not) rather than have the changes applied to the flash peice that you originally clicked on, it inserts a whole new flash piece into the editor.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know of a work around?
If I find a solution myself I'll post it here.

yes, this is happening in IE .. on Firefox it works well..
...
next week I will take a look (and try to make it a plugin), it has been too dificult to make it run on ie and gecko at the same time.. (I hate IE )
XHTML is a problem too, it does not allow EMBED into an OBJECT tag, and gecko browsers need embed tag to work...
