Embedding Flash with XML config

Permalink
Hi there,

I have a website with starwars style rolling credits in a flash movie. This flash movie has an XML config which must be in the same directory as the webpage it is being display in.

Any ideas how to get this to work? This is fairly important to me as I have a selection of flash movies I use for slideshows and navigation that I want to use for upcoming sites.

Thanks in advance.

I think there are not block (beside the html block) which could be used to achieve this.

You probably have to build your own block. Should be very easy in your case..

you're probably going to have to change that flash app to be able to point to a specific directory rather than the one the page rendered at... site.com/pagename/pagename in a concrete5 site isn't actually making directories.. all the pagenames/ are faked by the CMS.

Thanks for your help.

I have gotten around it for now by placing the flash app in an iframe using a html block.

Not very elegant, but it works very well! I will have a look into creating my own block when I get some spare time (which is never so that's a silly thing to say!)
