Hi,

It would be nice if SWF Tools could provide a block for embedding flv videos, image slideshows etc.

Is there anyway this can be achieved within the scope of this module?

Cheers,

BlueSquare

SWF Tools lets you generate content in any node, and you could use modules like "node as block" to do this.

This is great on a node by node basis. But I want to have a block on the homepage that automatically grabs the lastest audio file by using Views. I would like SWF Tools to display this mp3 with a player in this block on the homepage.

What would be the most sensible way to show this block and have swf tools detect this? I am using CCK file_field to upload my file. It seems the block view clumps all the data together, so I am having a hard time grabbing the audio file itself so SWFTools can be programmed to grab it.

Setting this as a duplicate of #581470: Playlist option in file handlers - views integration is coming, so it is (or will be!) a piece of cake to create a block that does exactly this. Basic code was committed tonight for simple playlists.

Note - this will be a 6.x feature - I don't plan to backport any features to 5.x.
