I am using Flash Node with SWFTools and Wijering Flash Player. I can create Flash nodes for FLV content with no problem and they work perfectly in the Flash Node. When I try to call the animation using the filters in another node such as a story with e.g. [flash|nid=235] the code is displayed as "[flash|nid=235]" on the resulting page and no animation appears.

I have full html enabled on the story node (have even tried enabling PHP just in case) and I have checked and double checked the syntax and node number. Everything appears to be correct but the Flash Node filter isn't working. I have used other filters on that node such as for the advertisement module and it works perfectly.

Do I have to activate the Flash Node filter somewhere, or code it into the filter file?

I have checked everything I can think of, please help!

If you are seeing [flashnode|nid=235] then it sounds like you haven't enabled the flash node filter. Check the handbook page at http://drupal.org/node/215173. You don't need to enable full HTML or PHP, just make sure the filter is active on the input formats where you want to allow macros.

No further post, and the issue certainly sounds like the filters not being fully enabled, so I'm setting to fixed. Please re-open if the issue was not fixed by the information at #1.

Ok, i figured out what I was not seeing.

In admin/settings/filters, do not create a new Flash Node input format.

  1. Go to a pre-existing format (like Filtered HTML)
  2. Click "Configure"
  3. In the "Filter"section, select "Flash" to add the filter
  4. Save the configuration

Should work like a dream.

I am puzzled! The flash node format is called "Flash node", not "Flash", and I noticed you posted a correction on the flash node filter document page saying the proper format was [flash|nid=10|scale=0.5], when it should be [flashnode|nid=10|scale=0.5]. Which version of flash node are you using?? Early versions of flash node used [flash...] but this was changed a while ago to avoid conflicts with another flash filter module.
