Could it be due to the size? When I clicked on your link it was really huge.

I see....it's not playing anything past the first frame. So you can't use animated flash on the board.

I don't know why that isn't working. It should. I'll play around with it when I get home.

I just made a loader that will play any animation.
http://www.theosqua.com/img/loader.swf

then add a "swf" string query with the url. So for the joeybomb one the flash url would be:

Code: Select all

[flash=200,185]http://www.theosqua.com/img/loader.swf?swf=http://www.theosqua.com/img/joeybomb.swf[/flash]
The only problem right now is that it doesn't play the clip's framerate, but the loader. I can probably have it input a value for frame rate, but that wouldn't help people who have no idea what the FPS is for the clip they want to show.

The other one works if you right click and select play. Is there a way you could put a play button on the first frame that will play the rest of the animation when pressed?

Problem has to do with these two parameters in the flash object:

<param value="false" name="play"/>
<param value="false" name="loop"/>
