Discontinued

object tag has been disabled by PBase and hence you cannot host insert flash links anymore. All the content below will not work anymore and remains here for archiving purposes.

Hosting

PBase does not allow users to upload a Flash file. So you`ll need to find a web space that can host Flash Files, and then link it to your PBase pages. Howto inspired by this post by Arjun.

Displaying the Flash movies

The basic problem is that while IE uses the <OBJECT> tag to display flash movies, Netscape engine browsers use <EMBED> (EMBED is a non standard XHTML tag). We don't really care if EMBED is non-standard or not - as long as it works. The problem is the PBase suddently started stripping out <EMBED> tags.

Here is the code that you can insert to display a flash movie on both browsers in PBase without the EMBED tag. (This code is courtesy A List Apart). This code can be inserted into the User Description area of your PBase galleries.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://INSERT_SWF_URL_HERE" width="INSERT_WIDTH_HERE_IN_PIXELS" height="INSERT_HEIGHT_HERE_IN_PIXELS"><param name="movie" value="http://INSERT_SWF_URL_HERE" /></object>

NOTE: All the code must be in one continuous line and make sure your 'enable HTML' checkbox is checked in the PBase user description area.
