Hi,

I've just downloaded the latest SWTTools. It appears that external files don't work in the filter.

Using 

<swf file="http://www.externaldomain.com/myfile.flv">

The code produced is:

<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.embedSWF("http://localhost/new_site/dev_html/sites/all/modules/contrib/swftools/shared/flash_media_player/player.swf", "swfobject2-id-12384070411", "400", "320", "7", "", { "width": "400", "height": "320", "file": "http://localhost/new_site/dev_html/sites/default/files/sites/default/files" }, { "swliveconnect": "default", "play": "true", "loop": "true", "menu": "false", "quality": "autohigh", "scale": "showall", "align": "l", "salign": "tl", "wmode": "opaque", "bgcolor": "#FFFFFF", "version": "7", "allowfullscreen": "true", "allowscriptaccess": "sameDomain", "base": "http://localhost/new_site/dev_html/sites/default/files/", "src": "http://localhost/new_site/dev_html/sites/all/modules/contrib/swftools/shared/flash_media_player/player.swf", "width": "400", "height": "320" }, { "id": "swf12384070411" });
</script>

I'm using swfobject 2.

You'll notice the file path is completely wrong.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Zap

?!

Was it working before the upgrade? There was a minor change to the filter code as part of 6.x-2.4 as it didn't handle spaces properly, but I tested it and thought it was working ok!

I can't recreate this - I have tested on two machines locally, using both mp3 and flv files, and they're embedding fine. The embedding method shouldn't matter in this case, but just to be sure I tested direct embedding and SWF Object 2, and they're ok.

Does the external url you are using use any odd characters that might be upsetting the filter?
