Adding a Flash file (.swf) to your site

You can embed a flash (swf) file into your OM4 site by following the instructions below.

Note: If you want to add a YouTube video to your site, follow these instructions instead.

To add a flash file to your OM4 site:

1. Upload the flash (.swf) file to your OM4 site.
   This step is necessary because you can only embed flash files located on your OM4 site. Flash files located on another web site will not work.
2. Open up your post or page and type [flash file= , paste the URL for the flash file and then close the tag with a right square bracket ].
   For example,
   [flash file=http://yourdomain.com/files/flashfile.swf]
   or
   [flash file=/files/flashfile.swf]
3. You can optionally define a width and height for the file (whole numbers).
   For example,
   [flash file=http://yourdomain.com/files/flashfile.swf width=500 height=300]
   or
   [flash file=/files/flashfile.swf width=250 height=250]
4. You can optionally define how the flash file is aligned on the page (left, center or right).
   If not specified, the file will be left aligned.
   For example,
   [flash file=http://yourdomain.com/files/flashfile.swf width=500 height=300 align=center]
   or
   [flash file=/files/flashfile.swf width=500 height=300 align=right]
5. Save your post / page and view it

If you don’t see the flash file displayed, check that the OM4 Flash (SWF) Integration plugin is activated:

1. Log in to your Dashboard.
2. Click the Plugins tab.
3. Scroll down to the OM4 Flash (SWF) Integration plugin. If it isn’t activated, click Activate.
