Attaching a Flash animation file
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:39 am
I tried to attach a Flash animation file to a post.
The following message was produced.
The extension swf is not allowed.
The file is only 11 kilobytes long and will run directly within a web browser.
If a .swf file could be added as an attachment, I am unsure as to whether it would need to be saved to local storage and then run in a browser locally or whether it could be run directly from the forum, in a similar manner to viewing a pdf directly from a forum attachment.
The particular .swf is simply an animation made using Serif DrawPlus X4 and my Localizable Sentences 010 font. It is not interactive, it just builds up a message, in fact the same message that is shown in a still image in the fifth post in the Gallery thread entitled Localizable Sentences Experiment font support.
Could you possibly consider allowing a .swf file to be added as an attachment to a forum post please?
