Description Sandra Peek 2009-01-19 15:34:25 UTC
I am able to upload .swf files to my Wiki page but they do not play. I have uploaded the Shockwave Player from Adobe. The .swf still won't play.

There's no default media handler for SWF files. Probably would be better as an extension.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2009-01-31 01:28:57 UTC
There are several extensions available to handle inline display of SWFs:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Flash
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Flash_Extension
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Flash_swf
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Flashow

(I'm not sure which is best, I haven't tried em.)

None of them look really ideal to me, but they should work.
