Easter egg?... fck_flash.html

Yes, I saw that file too and tried to use it by including it in the toolbar using "Flash" (and some others) as the item name - but it didn't work

I notice that there's even a toolbar image for Flash, so perhaps it's nearly ready?

I noticed this in version 1.4, and with version 1.5, I decided to implement it (at a client's request). It doesn't exactly work when adding it in as is. You'll need to make some changes to the JavaScript, but I have it working perfectly. I'll submit my changes to FredCK soon, and hopefully, it'll be in out in the next release.

Perhaps I'll post the changes here, too, but I'm too lazy to do that right now. If you really want them, prod me with a message and maybe I'll get off my lazy butt and post them.

Prod, prod, prod ...

I would love to have access to adding Flash within the editor.

Thanks very much, Chris B.

Ben, could you please post your code under "patches"? - So everybody could take it and perhaps develop it further!

As we see, the interest in this feature is strong!

thx,
Markus

Heres the code to grab the flash size...
Only done in php as of now, in the upload.php file..
I added the following. That limits the size to 40,000 bytes but most importantly returns the flash movie size back to the opener.

if (move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['FCKeditor_File']['tmp_name'], $savefile)) {
chmod($savefile, 0666);
$filesize = filesize($savefile);
$size = getimagesize($savefile);
$width = $size[0];
$height = $size[1];
if ($filesize > 40000) {
print "Error, FileSize Exceeded<br><a href=http://www.photoalbumfun.com/gtpimage/createimage.php target=blank>Click Here to Resize</a>";
unlink($savefile);
}
else {
?>

        <SCRIPT language=javascript>window.opener.setImage('<?php echo $UPLOAD_BASE_URL.$HTTP_POST_FILES['FCKeditor_File']['name'] ?>');window.opener.setImageHeight('<?php echo $height ?>');window.opener.setImageWidth('<?php echo $width ?>'); window.close();</SCRIPT>";

Thanks for the prods. I'll try to post my code under "patches" this weekend when I have some time to go through it and grab the necessary code.

I have posted my code in "patches".

Ben,

Regarding your patch, Ive implemented it and selected a SWF movie from my list of files, and clicked ok. It puts the following code into the editor:
<OBJECT height=200 width=200 data=http://uploads.mydomain.com/uploads/m00_t03_p01.swf classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000></OBJECT>

this shows up as a 200 x 200 black box in the editor
as opposed to in fck_flash.html where it appears as a tiny flash image. Am i missing something or doing something wrong here?

There're height and width fields in the flash dialog window, and you need to explicitly set the height and width there, as there is no way right now (that I know of) to program it to grab the height and width of a flash file (like you can do with an image file).

If someone knows how to do this, please let me know.

Oh, by the way, it will show up as a black box in the editor window. This is expected. When you save it, it will work just fine. You can also use my preview page feature, and you'll see the flash dialog show up just fine. I think I misunderstood your original question.

OK, so the black box is just the fact that the editor can't display flash while editing. If you plug in the preview option you can see the flash movie along with everything else. Im fine with that.

I guess my question has more to do with how does the code returned from the fck_flash.html dialog box work. Doesn't flash code have to look something like this:

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

that is not how SWF code is being returned at this moment.

also, i have code that will pull out SWF width and height. I found an original ASP code for this awhile back and I have converted it into CFMX cfc if either of those would help you.
