Embed Flash Videos in FAQ Entry

Post by bragot »

Hi There,

Has anyone been able to embed a flash video into one of their FAQ entries? If so, I'd love to hear how you did it.

Software like Camtasia studios allow you to make screen recordings then convert these into FLV (Flash Video) or SWF format. But I've found that it's a little tricky to get these uploaded into an FAQ entry.

Thanks!

Hi,

embedding Flash won't work because of our security filter system.

bragot,

as an alternative to embed (which is not permitted) we upload all the files for a flash animation [we use the free Wink tool] as attachments in an article and then put a link to the html attached file which will then open a new window with the animation. Next to the link we add a comment like [1.0 MB flash movie] so people know what to expect. Some of our clients still use dial up.

Lidio.
