my playlist

You can create playlists using the <swflist files="file1.mp3&&file2.mp3&&..."> format.

Activate the swf tools input filter by assigning it to an input format, and configure a suitable handler using the Administer > SWF Tools > File handling page, and choosing a player under the File handling section (Default player for a list of MP3 music files).

I just re-read this, and realised you were asking about an playlist of swf, rather than mp3 or flv.

None of the current players support this (AFAIK).

Most probably because they wouldn't know if you had a string of swfs that end, or ones that loop under action script.

If anyone knows any different please post!

Setting as 'won't fix' but actually mean 'can't fix'!

Stuart,

When you said:

I'm trying to figure out how to do this.

Should I create a content type of 'playlist'? And give it a cck text field where I can input the <swflist files="file1.mp3&&file2.mp3&&..."> bit?

I have Substitutes [swf file="filename.flv"] or [swf files="file1.jpg&&file2.jpg"] with embedding code. in my input formats but something ain't happenin.

Thanks for any advice.

See this documentation page that details how to use the input filter. In a nutshell the input filter is different to CCK. The input filter is used in the body of a node to insert content. CCK is used to enable simple uploads of files.

The current (6.x-2.x) release supports CCK filefields. The under development 6.x-3.x release will also allow link fields and text fields.

Which you use depends on how you want your users to be able to add content.
