swftools 6.x-2.5

The key new feature in this release is support for creating playlists out of multiple CCK uploads. You can assign the "SWF Tools - playlist" formatter to the field, and all the files are handed over to SWF Tools where they will be rendered as an audio or video playlist, or as slideshow, using your configured handlers.

There have been quite a few incremental bug fixes and minor new features, so this release makes them generally available to all users. One of the key fixes is to the input filter system - it was supposed to (but didn't) recognize square brackets. This now works correctly. Also, there were some issues when using SWF Tools with WYSIWYG editors such as FCKeditor. These are addressed too.

Lastly, an interesting new feature has been added to Wijering 4 as a result of a user request - it is now possible to make the player accessible by enabling the appropriate options on the module settings page. This will add a set of links underneath the player that will control it. Because they are just standard hyperlinks they are accessible to screen readers. It requires that SWF Tools use the SWF Object 2 embedding method.

In summary, issues addressed are:

• #404076: Filefield CCK field formatter : Support for multiple uploads added via the new SWF Tools - playlist formatter.
• #408072: Permanently Disable Buttons in JW Image Rotator : New option placed on settings page to allow all navigation buttons to be disabled.

• #432188: Multiple 1pixelout players in single page and stop the others. : Code added so that when multiple players are present starting one will stop the others. Relies on use of SWF Object 2 embedding.
• #424378: New playlist CCK field formatter should not make a playlist when there is only one image : New 'CCK formatters' page added that lets you specify an alternate formatter if a single file is sent to the playlister.
• #411348: Changing Flowplayer Canvas Size : Canvas size is now configurable on the FP3 settings page.
• #351725: SWF Tools <swf></swf> tags being removed by Tiny MCE : Fix issue with use [ ] in filters (they should now work, and are preferred syntax), and also fix issues with WYSIWYG editors.
