How to embed or add a Flash movie to a page

This method is appropriate only if you understand that you may be opening up potential security vulnerabilities on your entire Plone site.

  • Upload the .swf (Flash movie) file to your site.  In this example, I'll upload a file called fish.swf.
  • Edit the page where you want to embed the movie, and switch to Kupu's HTML view.
  • Paste in the following HTML:
<object width="450" height="550">
<param name="movie" value="fish.swf">
<embed src="fish.swf" width="450" height="550">
</embed>
</object>
  • As a site Administrator (with Manager role), go to Site Setup and choose the Markup configlet.
  • Remove the tags object, param, and embed. 
  • Add the embed tag to the Custom Tags section. 
  • Press Save.

Your Flash movie should now be visible.
