Flash Content Embedder Plugin

A versatile mambot/plugin to easily integrate Flash clips within your content using very simple pseudocode.

With the help of a free, external program (swf2html by Adobe/Macromedia), it can automatically extract readable text from Flash clips and place them as invisible HTML elements right on your page - improving search engine optimization. Together with the additional searchbot, the Flash text elements can even be searched from within the Joomla! search module.

UPDATE 1.7:
Embed the Flash text as invisible div tag and/or as HTML comment.
UPDATE 1.8:
Embed the Flash text as noembed tag that is ignored by all current browsers.
VERSION 2.0:
Brand new version compatible with Joomla 1.5.x.

The new version 2.0 for Joomla 1.5.x works exactly the same way like the version 1.0x/1.5+ works for Joomla 1.0.x. It is tagged "legacy" because it uses the legacy style of implementing plugins, which is very similar to implementing old-school mambots, although there's already a far more efficient API. Thus this old-style implementation will become deprecated and perhaps non-operational eventually. ... As for the time being a lot of Joomla 1.5's core plugins are implemented this way as well, I'll face this problem when it becomes unavoidable, but not earlier than that.

Amazingly Simple

I've used this simple mambot/plugin on a few sites and love it.

It just works.

EDIT: Recently Adobe changed the way it's Flash Player works and Flash Player version 9 recently stopped this plugin from working perfectly.

If you have any links in the flash object you are embedding, they will no longer work.


See Adobe's article on why this happened here:
