Adding flash files with external references does not work within wCM

Posted August 21st, 2009 by edbaur

This is in 15.1, but the release version isn't an option in the forum insert field above, so I selected iMIS 10.0 when adding this forum topic, as an FYI.

I'm having issues with an SWF file working correctly in wCM. I use the telerik editor to add the SWF as an embedded object and everything that is internal to the SWF file works correctly. This specific SWF file references and external XML file that also references images within the same directory of the SWF file, but nothing works as far as rendering these images within the flash page. All the internal references work fine and the flash file works completely, except for the external references.

When i create a standard ASP page in the same directory and add the embedded object, all works correctly including the external references. How can I get everything to work when adding a flash file within wCM through the telerik editor?

How to enable Telerik Editor for Flash Uploads

On September 17th, 2009 andiecap says:

You can use the WYSIWYG editor (telerik editor) to upload flash content. You can enable the flash insert button for the wysywig editor, once you do that you will have the ability to insert swf files into content records. To enable the ability to insert swf files you will need to edit the Net\RadControls\Editor\ToolsFile.xml file. Open the ToolsFile.xml in notepad and look for the section:

<tools name="Toolbar4" isribbon="false" dockable="false">
<tool name="InsertTable" />
<tool name="InsertHorizontalRule" />
<tool name="ImageManager" shortcut="CTRL+G"/>
<tool name="LinkManager" shortcut="CTRL+K"/>
<tool name="Unlink" shortcut="CTRL+SHIFT+K"/>
</tools>

Under <tool name="ImageManager" shortcut="CTRL+G"/> add the following line:
<tool name="FlashManager" />

The end result should look like this:

<tools name="Toolbar4" isribbon="false" dockable="false">
<tool name="InsertTable" />
<tool name="InsertHorizontalRule" />
<tool name="ImageManager" shortcut="CTRL+G"/>
<tool name="FlashManager" />
<tool name="LinkManager" shortcut="CTRL+K"/>
<tool name="Unlink" shortcut="CTRL+SHIFT+K"/>
</tools>

I've done that. The problem

The problem exists when referencing external files. The only place a flash file works completely, is if it is resident in the .NET folder. I reference an external xml file that references jpg images. the jpg images don't appear when placing the flash file along with the external files anywhere other than the .net folder. I can reference all the files with a fully qualified URL, but it still doesn't work.

Flash Playing with calls to other Images and XML

On September 23rd, 2009 bswetnam says:

I have had the same issue, and I assuming that the flash could not locate the images or xml because of the URL rewriting that WCM does. SO I verified that I could open the sqf in a browser and called the flash into the ContentArea via an iframe. I have not had any issues with this yet.
