I downloaded this mod to be able to insert SWFs where I want to in my site. Installing was easy and my SWF appeared where I intended it to.
Technical note: My SWF loads external assets, but putting the assets in the same folder as the SWF doesn't work. Atypically, the external assets need to go in the root directory. After trying to place the assets in different areas (e.g. templates, etc) I found the root directory is where these assets need to be for the SWF to find them. Also, in response to some other posts, you have to create the folder to put your SWFs and then ensure your file path matches up in the settings.
For someone learning Joomla (having completed about 6 sites) I find this extension to be a vital extension for all of my sites. I plan on using this often.
