Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Using filefield to allow an administrator to upload .swf files. Flash (.swf) files are to be viewed by the end user in the browser, via a specialized template which requests the file vie javascript. Using private files ( 'system/files' request ). Currently, the .swf file does not play as the Content-Disposition is set to 'attachment' instead of inline. If the file is requested directly (outside of its template), the browser prompts to download.
For a fix, add to filefield_file_download just after the text or image disposition is set.
if ( $file->filemime == 'application/x-shockwave-flash' )
$disposition = 'inline';
