Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I have followed the instructions carefully.
One correction in Drupal 7 is that there is no admin/settings/filters - it is now /admin/config/content/formats
I am able to find my swf using ckeditor, upload to server or select from server.
But when I embed & save the page all I get is nothing in FF but in Chrome & Safari I get a white rectangle.
How do I get this to work in D7 ?
Setting up CKEditor SWF Filter
Go to admin/settings/filters and choose the input format where you want to add the filter (click on the configure link next to this input format).
Check the CKEditor SWF Filter checkbox and save settings.
Click again on the same input format's configure button, then this time, click on the Rearrange tab.
Drag and drop CKEditor SWF Filter to the bottom of the list.
Save changes.
Notice: if the input format uses HTML Filter too, make sure it allows the <object> and <param> tags.
Using SWFObject
If you prefer that CKEditor SWF Filter uses SWFObject instead of the default markup to embed Flash content, click again on the same input format's configure button, then this time, click on the Configure tab.
Under CKEditor SWF Filter, follow the online instructions.
Save configuration.

rolandk commentedAfter clicking flash button in ckeditor and selecting the file from server - there is no preview in the Flash properties preview windows.
The url that is added to the url field adds an additional \

anrikun commented1. Ok, try to use the default CKEditor Flash button, without the CKEditor SWF plugin enabled: uncheck the CKEditor SWF plugin in your CKEditor profile.
2. Clear your browser's cache.
3. Try to embed your SWF using the default CKEditor Flash button
4. Does it work? If not, then it is not related to CKEditor SWF.
Post a screenshot of the Flash dialog preview tab, showing the result.

rolandk commentedSure, after reading this, I am not sure what the diff between is bt the default Flash Button - is there a separate SWF button ?
Can you post a pic of your CKEditor showing which button to use when CKEditor SWF is enabled ?
Comment #4
anrikun commentedMy explanations were not very clear: there are no separate buttons. CKEditor SWF simply adds extra behaviour to the native CKEditor Flash dialog and uses the same button. So if you uncheck CKEditor SWF from your CKEditor profile, you will get the default CKEditor Flash dialog back.
See the screenshots: the 1st one is with CKEditor SWF enabled, the 2nd one is with CKEditor SWF disabled.
So what you should do is to try to disable the CKEditor SWF plugin and to use the default Flash dialog to embed your SWF.
The purpose of this is to see if your problem comes from CKEditor SWF of not.

rolandk commentedI never got this working with CKFinder. When I switched over to KCFinder it worked fine. Thanks
