Hi, I have a little .swf movie I''d like to have in my page. Is there a rails way of linking it? Thanks, Peter
No. But you could use http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/ and build a Rails Helper around it. btw. Campfire (37Signals, DHH) also seems to use flash. I took a look at the HTML sources a few days ago and they seem to include the Macromedia Flash/JS bridge, which also contains functions for embedding a swf.

It''s not a Rails way, but the standard html way works fine:
Example (C&Pasted from a working app.) :
<html>
....

Hi Alain, Thanks for the code snip. Where is your file "your_movie.swf"?

Hi Rgs, I got this working but had a problem at first also. My problem was I didn''t notice that the .swf filename is written twice in Alain''s code. When I changed both then everything was ok. It was even ok if I moved the file into my images directory and used ''images/theFIle.swf'' twice in Alain''s code.
