Description

In swftools exists a module with the same name. I checked the CVS and it appears that this module was developed later. I suggest that you change the name of this module to prevent conflicts with the one in swftools that was there earlier.

For instance, Blue drop video module depends on this module and on swftools, but since it conflicts with the flowplayer module in swftools, this module won't even appear in the modules page. I had to delete the swftools flowplayer to make it work.

The Flowplayer Drupal module is not changing its name. SWF Tool's Flowplayer module will have to change as that's a sub-module. Looking at the source, it seems like SWFObject module is a candidate for this problem as well.

Renaming SWF Tool's Flowplayer module to "swftools_flowplayer" and "swftools_flowplayer3" will solve the problem. Another thing we could do is move the SWF Tools module hooks over to the Flowplayer module and integrate the two? Thanks.
