Embedding Flash in Your Textpattern Articles

28 June 2007

Wlk_flem was created at the behest of Jonathan Greene for his new, soon-to-be-launched Textpattern-powered blog at greenethumb.com.

Jon is a flash guy. He likes to experiment with flash by doing all sorts of crazy stuff. Then, he puts the flash examples up on his blog. Well, he wanted two things:

  1. Upload the flash easily.
  2. Make it so he can have more than one flash example per page with overwhelming a person’s browser & processor.

So now he does this in an entry:

<txp:wlk_flem flashmovie="16" poster="63" width="450" height="220" bgcolor="333333" />

It’ll embed a the file with id number 16 as a flash movie and use the image with id 63 as the “poster”. The flash embed code will be run when the image is clicked. (top example here)

<txp:wlk_flem flashmovie="17" width="420" height="100" bgcolor="333333" />

It’ll embed a the file with id number 17 as a flash movie when the page loads. (bottom example here)

  1. I love the idea, but can’t find the download on your page.
    I have located another download of the plug in. However, the examples and samples in the help section of the plug in are all missing.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks
