adding flash (game)

Permalink
Dear all,

Since the update to 5.7, I have been unable to add flash content to my pages while this was easy in 5.6.
In 6, one could easily select a block to contain flash content and add the file.
But in 7, this type of block isn't available anymore.

Can someone explain how to add flash?

Flash is really a dying technology regarding the web so its use should not be generally encouraged. I think it is a right decision to drop out this block.

However, in case it is occasionally needed, you could just upload the flash file through the file manager, check the URL from its properties and then use the HTML block to add the object to the page:

<object width="100%" height="300" data="/application/files/path/to/flash.swf"></object>

Also, many browsers are not installing Flash plug-ins by default anymore and very few mobile devices play Flash natively anymore so I think everyone's doing their part to rid society of the evils of Flash ;-).
