Suggestion for embeded/linked media

Would it be possible to add code so we can use media like .swf? So we can link to flash videos like we do with youtube videos.

Just an observation: most websites provide html embed code for flash content that you can copy and paste, which will work on here.

e.g. code from a College Humor video (I deliberately chose one which no longer plays)

[code:1]<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="360" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="src" value="http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1924662&amp;fullscreen=1"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="360" src="http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1924662&amp;fullscreen=1" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>[/code:1]

produces

I attempted to copy the code from a site to embed a .swf video but, all I got in return was code. I was hoping there was a way to make it simpler for people like me. Similar to the manner I can click the youtube button and get tags to embed a youtube video.

When I moved the code over to Fakku and I previewed the post all I got was <iframe></iframe>

Sorry, I knew what you were getting at, just thought I'd point out the workaround in the meantime. If it's anything like phpbb (and it may well be a hybrid), it's actually incredibly easy to add embed code.

Here you go a simpler code:
[code:1]<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="sfw's link here" width="600" height="600">[/code:1]

Note that you have to put the flash's link and not the page's link (unlike the youtube code thing).
To get that link you may need to go to (if you're using firefox) tools-> page settings/information-> go onto media and find the sfw file to get it's link.
ps: My firefox in not in english so the actual names of the directions may differ a little, but I'm sure you'll find it easily.

Ps2: It seems the code does not appear visible when posted. Quote me to see the code.

edit: Thanks for the tip Dos!

To show code without using it, just use the [code:1][/code:1]
tags around it. :)

Not only that, after Kuro's post, the rest of the posts don't load.

We don't allow most .swf embed for obvious reasons, people could do bad things with it. Most videos are ok.
