How to post a flash file (swf) in a forum?

[Deepak]

I want to post this e-greeting flash file in another forum as a pic? How can I do it?

Thanks!

If the forum does not allow posts with HTML in them, you are screwed. If they do you can use this code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" /><param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="!!!!!PUT URL TO FILE HERE!!!!!" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="colbert" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Thanks Bludd but that forum doesn't allow posts with html, isn't another way out is to convert the swf file to animated gif and post it? Is there a free convertor available? I'll search...

Heh, I tried converting it for you in Flash 8.
There seems to be some bugs, but I couldn't fix them. Hope it is enough for you.

Thanks a TON, Bludd.

My pleasure, helping people to shoot fancily dressed guys with flaming arrows is my forté.
