Description
Hello,
I never used Flash before and I have to embed a flash world map in a panel custom block.
I installed the core SWF Tools module (only the core) but I can't assign SWF Tools as the field formatter. It's the thing I have to do, right?
I'm so lost about that..
Where do I put that files:
flash-map-world-zoom-blue-1.fla
flash-map-world-zoom-blue-1.swf
and a folder name's com with:
as folder
img folder
style.css
Could someone put me on the right path please?
Thanks :)

Junro,
i never used flash (except for video/audio) or swftools. But while you're waiting for the expert's help, there is one thing i can tell you in advance: forget about the .fla file. There's nothing to do with that.
FLA is the rough, uncompiled version of the file you're dealing. The swf is the compiled, working file. I'm not sure if you have to use swftools at all to display a static flash file in a block, and not even panels.
Why don't you try to just embed your file (i'm presuming it is static - no parameters to input by hand) in the body of your block?
Something like this:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" id="myMovieName"><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="myFlashMovie.swf"><PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high><PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF><EMBED href="/support/flash/ts/documents/myFlashMovie.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="550" HEIGHT="400" NAME="myMovieName" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED></OBJECT>The code above is generated automatically in a html page by Adobe Flash when you compile your flash file.

I don't know if it fits your needs, just trying to help.
