Is there something specific that you are thinking of doing with Drupal and Flash?

I would love to see examples and instructions on how to get flash movies (.swf) to play inline in drupal nodes or book pages. Anyone get this working? I'm trying to create a flash "book" in drupal for my students (see http://www.toddalbert.com/clcflash ).

I had to upload the files and submit the post, THEN go in and edit the post to RAW type (not filtered for HTML) and use embed and object tags to embed the flash. Ugly, but it works. Now if I can only figure out why there is so much empty space at the bottom of book pages?! http://www.toddalbert.com/clcflash

See mine it's working in a node, just for testing.

How did you get your footer to sit at the bottom of your page. I'm using Cameleon and can't find a place on the style sheet that would have an effect on the very bottom of the page.

What exactly do you mean by "integration" of flash? Are you referring just putting flash elements into the theme or are you talking about flash elements and drupal talking to each other.

From what I see, the site you mentioned is the former and doesn't receive a whole lot of info from drupal itself. Although something in the theme/template is passing the flashvar of lang=en which is telling it to use english as the display language.

How can you incorporate Flash with Dropal? In terms of navigation and content basically can you teach us the skeleton of your site and how to create something near like it for Dropal?

I'm using the tinyMCE editor and I tried desesparatly to make it work, but it just don't.. I've tried this;
- tried to load the flash plugins of tinyMCE, never worked..
- tried to use variouse technique, embed, object, javascript.. don't work everything gets stripped.
- then I tried to edit the post directly in the database, drupal don't see the changes .. any changes .. (yes caching was desactivated)
I'll probably get mad before the end of the day ;>

**UPDATE**
I found out that I was editing the "teaser" (in the db), editing the body makes more sens, and it worked.

I've tried to use flashnode and in my localhost everything was perfect, but then when I put the site on server and create a flash node the flash menu apears in blank, I've already saw the directory were is the swf and is everything ok.
Does someone knows what can be tha cause of this?

Thank's

This isn't so hard. There are several ways to accomplish this.

If you're using embed scripts, you just need to make sure your input format accommodates the tags you're attempting to insert. If you're an admin, just use the php input format and you can write anything you want into drupal nodes.

If you're trying to allow users to embed flash movies, just make a new field in your content type to provide the file. Then, use contemplate to wrap that file in the appropriate player on the presentation layer.
