Easy Inline SWF 1.0 Plugin for WordPress
There are several plugins to display Flash content for WordPress, but they don't make it easy for a user to insert Flash. They ask you to put some weird tags into your post, set Flash dimensions.. Well… NO MORE OF THIS PAIN! :) (cool CM huh ;)
Presenting…
Easy Inline SWF Plugin v1.0.2 for WordPress
UPDATED! Version 1.1 is out! Click here for more info!
(download link is at the bottom of the page!)
This plugin IS compatible with Word Press 2.1
Description:
Allows you to insert Flash files in .swf format into any place of your WordPress post, automatically detecting default size for the animation.
Changes:
Version 1.0.2
- a fix for resolving local path to .swf in cases when WordPress installation is not in the site's root (i.e. http://mydomain.com/wordpress)
Version 1.0.1
- a fix for reading dimensions of .swf file hosted on local filesystem of the server, in case when server doesn't set the DOCUMENT_ROOT environment variable
- updated Flash generation code so that it is automatically "activated" in IE for Windows (ie no need to click on Flash in order to be able to click on links inside it, if there are any)
Features:
- Allows you to include SWF Flash content on your WordPress posts and pages - so easy you have to try it to believe it
- Automatically detects default size for the included Flash
- Allows to include both SWF files uploaded via WordPress post upload panel, or the ones from other sites (automatic size detection applies to both cases)
- Supports both compressed and uncompressed .swf formats
- Very easy to use. I mean it.
How to use:
- To install, just put the easyswf.php file inside your wp-content/plugins folder and activate the plugin in admin panel
- Go to create new page or blog post page (edit the post as usual)
- Upload your .swf file via the upload panel below the post text entry field
- One the file is uploaded, it will be shown in the upload panel
- Just left-click on the image (the way you usually do to insert ordinary images to your post), and in the menu that will appear, choose "Send to editor" (all other options should be left as is)
- A link to your uploaded .swf Flash file will appear in the text editor panel
- You're done! But.. there is one additional thing you can do - that is, you can include a .swf file from some other web-site, if you know full path to that file. To do that, you just type in some text in text editor, and then create a new link on that text, pointing to an .swf file on another site:
- There are two things you should be avare of though, in the case of linking to external file:
- in order to detect dimensions of the Flash, it will be downloaded by server every time your post with that Flash is shown. There is no caching.
- The text inside the link will be removed when displaying your post
- Of course you can include any number of Flash files in any single post
- And now, that's basically all :) And here's how the final rendered page will look like (the top Flash was uploaded locally, and the bottom one was linked from a different web site:
- That's it. Have fun :)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_check_filetype() in /*****/public_html/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 1705
is it me or the plugin?! ;)
September 15th, 2006 at 10:12 am
Hey puzz1ed1 :) I think it might be either your blog setup, or it might be the plugin. ;) Does the problem disappear when you deactivate the plugin? When the error you have described appears? All pages, just admin pages, or just user pages?
Basically, I don't touch anything except for "the_content" so the plugin shouldn't cause any problems. But who knows :) I can look into the problem if you give me some more details may be.
September 19th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
Hey Mike. Your plugin seems to be exactly what I've been looking for. However, I've downloaded it, intalled it correctly to my plugins folder, activated it and even tried uploading a test swf to a test page that I made but nothing happens. Your other plugin for Google Maps works brilliantly on my site which is why I can't figure out what's up with this one. Any ideas? I am trying to use it in a page and not a post if this makes any difference at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
September 28th, 2006 at 4:23 am
Plugin sounds just like what I need for a site I am working on. However I did a test on one of my sites and while it does load the SWF, it loads it underneath the entire PHP Info stuff. So basically it shows all of php info, then the swf in the post. Very strange.
September 28th, 2006 at 7:52 am
LG,
looks like there was some debug code left. should word as it should now :)
September 30th, 2006 at 6:17 pm
Damn it. this is exactly what im after but it doest work for me either.. all is well but no swf file is shown in the blog eve though the path to the file is correct.
thanx

September 30th, 2006 at 6:25 pm
TW, can you have a look at the generated HTML code (the place where SWF should be displayed), and check if the width and height of the flash is not set to zeroes?
September 30th, 2006 at 10:28 pm
dude i tried to post the code but its not happy with it.
trying again
sorry dude, thought i posed this earlier: obviously not.
object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/flash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="0" height="0">
October 1st, 2006 at 8:44 am
TW,
looks like you have some problems with hosting server configuration. It might be that your DOCUMENT_ROOT is not set, or set incorrectly, and the plugin can not find the .swf file to analyse for dimensions on server's local file system. If version 1.0.1 doesn't work for you, it's kind of hard to tell what will help…
October 1st, 2006 at 9:54 am
dude fixed the doc_root issue but the size and width is still not working.
if i hard code the size it works file so file path is ok.
any ideas?
October 1st, 2006 at 10:15 am
when i
echo "height= " . $swf_h . "width= " . $swf_w;
i get 0 for hight and 0 for width. must be an issue trying to read the swf file variables no?
October 1st, 2006 at 10:32 am
tw,
i have sent you the debug version to your email address (t…..nal@hotmail.com). you should try it and report me the result.
October 1st, 2006 at 12:46 pm
OK, there was a problem with path resolution in case of non-root installations of WordPress. The problem is fixed in version 1.0.2 which is available immediately. Thanks to TW for helping with the testing. :)
October 1st, 2006 at 1:05 pm
Pleasure thanx for the plug.

what is the password in order to upzip the file?

MINO, the archive is not password-protected.
October 18th, 2006 at 12:13 pm
nice …it's runing bro! very easy
October 23rd, 2006 at 7:54 am
This is brilliantly easy. Thanks very much.
A request. Would it be possible to have the option to set a default width for the SWF so that it could be scaled to a smaller or larger size to fit the blog page?
An anomaly. If I just put a link into the post for an external swf without any text in the link the swf doesn't appear. Put a piece of nonsense text in and it does!
October 24th, 2006 at 2:15 am
Well, I downloaded and activated your plugin without problem, eager to try it because the Kimili and WP-SWF plug-ins have failed with my blog. Looks like I am hitting a roadblock with yours as well: I see no "upload panel" or anything else related to easyswf when I go to write a new post. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks,
Keith R
October 24th, 2006 at 6:11 am
^ what he said. I would like to be able to adjust the size of the swf to fit my blog page(s), also I noticed that the backgrounds to my swf's become white when in actuality they are black. works awesome as is though, a real time saver and easy setup. thanks for your hard work. Im just getting going with my site, but feel free to visit. http://www.centerfinger.com
October 24th, 2006 at 9:58 am
Upekshapriya, Rob
thanks for the feedback. I think what you asking for regarding setting size for flash is doable. Not sure when I will have time to implement this feature, but I think it will definitely be done. And probably in not so distant future :)
October 24th, 2006 at 10:02 am
Keith R,
I'm not sure exactly why you are having problems, but it must have something to do with your blog setup I think. Try to revert to default scheme (or even reinstall the WordPress?) and see if things will get back to normal for you.
All that said, not having upload panel available when composing new posts is definitely weird..
November 2nd, 2006 at 6:32 am
Your Inline SWF works great for me. I lose my background color.
I tried validating my page (where i have a SWF) with W3C XHTML validator and i got 11 errors. Is it normal? If not, what can i do?
Thanks!
November 4th, 2006 at 2:29 pm
I tried to link to an external swf file that my root site loads (www.jeffguthrie.com) but it doesnt appear to be working… Any ideas?
The plug works if i attach the file though…
November 4th, 2006 at 2:44 pm
Jeff,
what kind of link did you use for that swf? was it relative or absolute one?
November 4th, 2006 at 2:47 pm
Guy Bouchard,
the plugin doesn't support setting the default background thru HTML, so you might loose your background if it is no embedded directly into flash (like, say, a white rectangle as the lowest layer in your flash). I might add support for setting the background in the future, but at this stage that's the way it is. Sorry about probs
November 12th, 2006 at 7:07 pm
Not sure why you don't use something a lot easier to use here?
For instance http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/
Which uses a base directory and the tag [audio:file.mp3] in the post to embed the player.
The plugin is okay but it lacks the same simplicity.
November 12th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Scott,
have you actually read the description of this plugin? Because it is very weird to see you comparing plugin for playing back mp3 files and my plugin, which allows you to insert any .swf content into WP pages (of which mp3 encoded audio files is only a tiny fraction of possible content). I won't even agree with you on easiness-to-use factor. My plugin doesn't require to you type any special tags and actually allow to complete all operations by just using a mouse :) But well anyway, I guess some people will thank you for pointing out another useful plugin :)
November 12th, 2006 at 10:52 pm
You have missed the point. I figured you would.
You say you have to upload the file. WHY??? That should not be a requirement if you have access to place the file anyplace you want.
The mp3 player lets you define the BASE directory for the mp3's… you put the file there then call it with the [audio] tag. Your plugin doesn't even do that. I am not saying your plug doesn't work… It just isn't logical for a local file.
November 13th, 2006 at 10:24 pm
Great plugin i had no problem installing it. as the other posters has already mension it would be great if the user could define the size of the embedded flash file.
keep up the good work.
November 14th, 2006 at 12:23 am
Hello, I'm using your plug-in… seems great, but can't seem to get the flash to show? i've followed your instructions… what am i doing wrong? if the flash is bigger than the page would that cause it to not show? :o)

Thanks,

November 29th, 2006 at 10:50 pm
Well done, BUT setting width is really needed.
December 13th, 2006 at 9:20 am
great plugin!
Compliments for your work.
I have a question…Can I change size of the swf that I upload on my site?
ciao
December 15th, 2006 at 3:41 am
Hi, when I use the "send to editor" all it shows in the post is a link to the swf file. What am I doing wrong? thanks
December 16th, 2006 at 1:40 am
Can I force the dimension o f the SWF?
December 17th, 2006 at 5:30 pm
Hi Mike…Wonderful plugin. Easiest of any WP plugin I ever installed! Worked on 1st try. Good instructions, too! Thanks!
A suggestion for improvement: provide user control to start and stop Flash movie file (or am I doing something wrong…?). And maybe provide a user-initiated Loop control…?
Also, since image area overlapped onto sidebar (using the WP-Andreas 3-col theme), I will probably have to size the Flash doc window smaller (width-wise). The site is currently running the Flash movie (1st post).
All learning is good…
Thanks again,
Cliff

December 21st, 2006 at 5:09 pm
WTJ,
if you want to get any help you should submit more info like, say, a theme you're using, and if possible a site you have wordpress installed on. with the info you provided it is not possible to determine your problem.
December 22nd, 2006 at 12:37 am
Thanks a whole load for such a user-friendly plugin! You're brilliant.
To adjust the size of my flash file, I edited the script where it says "height" and "width" and added 300px and 100px after it (e.g. "height300px", and it worked. Is this the actual solution, though?
December 30th, 2006 at 6:55 pm
Hey Mike,
Love the plugin. Got a question for ya:
I noticed that the plugin automatically wraps the swf in tags. Problem with this is that it places a margin around the flash file, and makes it so you can't have it sitting directly next to other elements without giving them negative margins.
So…. any way to keep it from adding the tags?
December 30th, 2006 at 6:57 pm
Sorry, looks like the code got edited out of my last post. It was supposed to say that it wrapped the swf in paragraph tags. That's what I want to eliminate.
January 20th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Thanks for the plugin! Bookmarked it now and will add it to my blog soon :)

thanks for the plugin. it works great
Is there any command to reduce the height or width of the swf?
thanks

loaded a flash movie into my wordpress site, and got the following error:

Can anyone please advise me on how I can rectify this error?
February 25th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Hey! I love the plug-in, but I have a problem:
The background colors of my SWFs are being changed to white. This really messes up some of the games I am trying to add to my site.
Is there any fix to this?
March 1st, 2007 at 4:27 pm
I'm loving functionality of this plug-in. Thanks for making it so easy to add flash/swfs to my blog.
Greg: the easiest way to fix that is to add a background layer of color on the bottom layer of your game.
March 2nd, 2007 at 5:05 am
Most of the games do have a background color… When viewed on their own, they display the proper background.
March 2nd, 2007 at 10:40 am
Im on my 3rd flash plug-in, install went fine, upload was ok..but more to my .swf then just the one file so i did the upload the way it wanted then went into the code and changed it to where the file and other files with it sit on the server. I am a week into this blog stuff, but i am getting this error
Failed to load showit.xml
my code looks like this
showit.swf
here is the link straight outta that
http://stalzerphotography.com/blog/slideshows/weddingshow207a/showit.swf
and it works fine…
so what have i done wrong?
March 2nd, 2007 at 11:36 am
Sorry guys, I know the plugin update is a long overdue :( I'll try to do something about it this weekend if I have a chance. No guarantees though…. On my to-do list are background and flash size settings.
March 2nd, 2007 at 12:04 pm
John,
I'm stabbing in the dark, but I think that your problem is coming from the fact that the page that the swf is displaying on is not in the same folder as the xml file. Try moving the xml file to stalzerphotography.com/blog/ and see if it loads.
March 2nd, 2007 at 6:10 pm
Greg,
Thanks for the reply, nope that is not the problem, the xml and the swf are sitting right next to each other. I even updated word press last night to see if that was the problem.
I am running 2.1
March 2nd, 2007 at 6:15 pm
John,
you might want to try to place the file into your server's root directory (i.e. http://stalzerphotography.com/showit.xml
March 2nd, 2007 at 8:56 pm
I realize that they are sitting next to each other, but when you embed it in a page, it begins looking in the directory that the page is in. I believe you will have to move the entire contents of the wedding show 2007a folder into your blog directory because of the way your links are. If you could re-write the .swf and xml file with full paths, you wouldn't need to do this.
showit.xml
…
…
change to

March 3rd, 2007 at 1:21 am
Greg M
was there more to your post at the end? Ok i've moved folder to and from the blog directory, put it in the original root, like mike wanted…
it is currently sitting here
blog/showit.swf
blog/showit.xml
which actually im glad didn't work because that would limit me to one show..the program only generates the show name as showit.swf
i've also had the directory look like this
blog/weddingshow207a/showit.swf
blog/slideshows/weddingshow207a/showit.swf
Greg M…the program, when it creates the swf it doesn't know the directory yet.
Any ideas now? I appreciate your guys help! Thanks
March 3rd, 2007 at 5:26 am
What error did it come up with? Or does the .swf just not show up?
If it is giving you an error other than the .xml error, try moving the blog/weddingshow207a/images folder to /blog/images
Other than that, I don't know what to do. I would bet that someone does, but I don't know who.
March 5th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Hi,
This plugin was working fine for me until I upgraded to 2.1, now I just get this error where the Flash is supposed to be:
Warning: gzuncompress() [function.gzuncompress]: data error in /home/kunaldco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/easyswf.php on line 213
Any ideas what's going wrong here?
March 5th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
I have updated the Easy SWF plugin and now it supports flash resizing and background! Check it out at the following link: http://macdiggs.com/index.php/2007/03/05/easy-swf-plugin-11/

March 12th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
ok so how do we have start/stop controller in the flash. I have 4 swf files on one page and they all play at the same time :(
March 12th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
mitch,
there's no such a functionality in my plugin. Once a flash file is loaded, it starts playing. And that's basically what majority of people want I guess :) If you have 4 large swf files on one page and they slow down your browser, you might consider to put each one of them on a separate page.
March 19th, 2007 at 7:26 am
There is no discernable effect from this plugin.
It's installed and activated from the admin panel.
I am running Wordpress 2.1 and have tried multiple themes, including the default, no no avail.
It SOUNDS ideal, but does nothing.
March 19th, 2007 at 7:36 am
OK, evidently you need to use the visually editor for the flash file to show up, which is kind of annoying, but workable. Sorry to have jumped the gun. This plug-in will save me a TON of work.
April 15th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
Thanx a lot for the plugin! Just what i needed. My next quest will be to let it cooperate with lightbox. (ps. i noticed that your kubrickbgwide.jpg has grey ends but your header an footer images don't, maybe a crossbrowser bug?)
April 24th, 2007 at 2:55 am
I installed it and all i get when published is the title of the swf as a link to the file and not an inline swf.
Did i miss a step?

Thanks Mike! It installed and worked exactly as advertised. Wasn't cross-browser stable, tho. Flash files showed a white BG color in FireFox. :(

May 17th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
Bronwen,
you're welcome :) The plugin should work identical on IE and Firefox though…. You tried to set transparent color and got white? Or you tried something different?
If you explain the problem in more details I will look at it and hopefully fix in the upcoming update (going to jump to version 2.0 with one VERY handy feature). Now I only need some spare time to work on it..
May 17th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
Hi Mike,
The Flash SWF I wanted to embed has a black background, but in Firefox it showed up with a white background. I did nothing fancy to the code, just used the plug-in as described. See the link below for the SWF involved:
http://www.br0nw3n.com/blog/cost-of-freedom/
I wound up using the CoolPlayer plug-in in order to solve the prob.
Sorry bud…

Passegua,
looks like your might be trying to embed a pretty big SWF file and the plugin goes out of memory trying to read the file's dimensions. You can try to embed a smaller file, or increase maximum memory allocation for PHP scripts on your server. If you are on a shared hosting, the second option might be not possible though..
I'll have a look at the code and see if anything can be done for cases like yours, though.
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:25 pm
Hi Mike,
The plugin doesn't work with 2.1.2 because the process of send files to the browser is different.
You don't get the screen you've showed in the print screen.
What do I have to do?
June 3rd, 2007 at 8:28 pm
I'm sorry. it works. :)
what if I wan't to change the dimension?

Mike,
This plug-in is great. Install was a snap and it worked the first time for me.
I have a question that may be more a newbie thing on my part, but I would really appreciate your guidance.
I created a 30 MB swf video that demonstrates a product I am promoting on my blog. Testing with FireFox the video fired off right away and played without a hitch.
However, testing with IE version 6, it took 2 to 3 minutes on a fast broadband connection to start playing.
Just from topical observation, it seems that Firefox is really streaming and IE is trying to download the entire file first.
Is there an easy answer here?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Mike,
Sorry but I have no idea why this happens.. Must be buggy IE's problems or possibly the way Flash plugin works on IE..
Let me know if you find out the reason why this happens, though!

Hi Mike,
So far the program works pretty well but the swfs are being displayed without the bg color…do you know what might be the issue…

Hey,
Thanks for the awesome plugin - I tried so many before this and couldn't even get the flash file to show up. Anyways, I have a problem that I can't figure out.
I built a flash RSS feed reader and I put it into my post. The .swf file has an include in the script and I placed the file into the same folder the .swf was sent to like it needs to be (and this works perfect on my front page) however, when it loads the .swf in the post, it does not load the xlsma.as file for whatever reason, so of course I get the nice ugly error on the screen that says Error Loading XML. Any way to get around this so that the Include in the script will be able to load XLSMA.as?
Thanks!

Tony,
you might want to try and put the dynamically loaded file into website's root directory. This can potentially fix the problem…

Mike -
While attempting to upload (using the media upload under the post page), I get an error that states:
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
Back to Image Uploading
How can I fix this?
Sorry - I'm way over my head here.
Thanks for your help.

Kate,
the error happens because you are trying to upload a file that if bigger than allowed by your hosting company. I think you most probably can't make changes to php.ini file (where the global settings for maximum upload file size are stored)
However, there is something you can probably do about it:
you have to add file named ".htaccess" (no quotes) to the root directory of your web site, with the following contents:
php_value upload_max_filesize 8M
this way the max allowed file size will be set to 8M Bytes. However, there is a chance that your hosting company doesn't allow to override global settings for your site this way. In that case, you should contact your hosting company with the error you have posted in the comment here, and they will probably help you (or may be not).
hope this helps,
Mike

Hi Mike
Is there a way of aligning the swf left or right, with the text wrapping around it?
February 4th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Hi Rob,
no, unfortunately there is now way to align SWFs currently, using the plugin, but you might be able to achieve this effect by using the following approach:
1. insert the link to swf as usual
2. enter the HTML source editing mode in WordPress editor
3. Locate the link to swf file you have inserted
4. Wrap that link with a DIV tag, and specify the alignment of the DIV in its style attributes
5. So result would be like the following:
<div style="float:left">
<a href="xxxxxxxx.swf">….</a>
</div>
You can specify either float:left or float:right depending on how you wish to align the swf. I haven't tried that myself, but I think it should work.
Mike.

Great plugin. The size thing is an issue though. Be great to be able to specify a default width and height setting for the video. As it is now the video will take over a complete page.
Is it worth your time to incorporate this? Well time is money and you are saving us time with the simple plugin. I for one would be happy donate $30.00 USD to pay for your work. Maybe a few others would be willing to do the same?

Is there anyway to resize it if it is linked "from another" website. (I actually just uploaded the file to another spot on my site and linked to that. But now it's HUGE and overtakes the page/content. Can I resize this?)
Thanks again!

Hi friend,
I had this intsalled and thought it was excellent, until I noticed that it, as well as embedding a plain text path to a swf file, it also messes with html that I had written. I wanted to link to some swfs, but instead the plugin embedded them.
Is there an easy way to get it to discern only to convert a path to a swf that is simply typed in the post editing box and to leave alone any html that happens to link to a swf?
Many Thanks
David

David,
as it stands now, there's no way to choose which links will be converted to embedded swf movies. Sorry about inconvenience.
I might update the plugin with this functionality, but I really can't tell when it might happen.. :(
Mike.
