uploading swf files

Where can I upload swf files to use on my forum. I tried one site, but because the site they use to allow to view it does not work, so my game turned up white instead of the game coming up.

Register on a free hosting site like bravenet.com & then upload the swf file there.

why do i have to do all of that. am i not able to just upload it here. in the forums it accepts it but just doesnt upload right.

Here it will add as a attachment.

It cannot be used in a html code to display it. Is this a question or a suggestion?

is there any way to turn it into an html code in order to use it.

Nopes, i don't think so.

i tried to add the swf file as an attachment and it came up white.

Or you could use dropbox.com ... substitute the www.dropbox.com to dl-web.dropbox.com(file location here)to download files ..instructions are on the site and it hosts SWF files eg

Code:

 <center><embed src="https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/Sample%20Album/simon%27s%20blue.swf?w=AACqVQOzhPSbHEsvmKR_AqIGsFRhaTDsUeV6LQYok9IX5w" width="600" height="90" /></center>

Just click on the SWF file in your dropbox web folder and it will show up on your browser ...Then copy the URL from the top of the browser as an address for the file

Are you sure that would work? I don't think it will.

Well it's what I use for the banners of one of my forums

ie https://help.forumotion.com/t94759-simons-forum#796972 check the first post

Which Banner musket? Can you post a screenshot?

When I copied it back from the Simons forum generalities I got the above code

I rechecked it and it works



Original code posting a flash with the message editor.... I checked both on one of my my forums [Language] a message...either works

Code:

[flash(600,90)]https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/Sample%20Album/simon%27s%20blue.swf?w=AACqVQOzhPSbHEsvmKR_AqIGsFRhaTDsUeV6LQYok9IX5w[/flash]

I don't see it anywhere on the forum. Can you post the exact location in the screenshot? Like above the forum or where?

this is what I get when viewing

I don't see those flash files.

That's odd are you getting anything with this https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/Sample%20Album/simon%27s%20blue.swf?w=AACqVQOzhPSbHEsvmKR_AqIGsFRhaTDsUeV6LQYok9IX5w

There is just a blank space.

Maybe it only shows to the sender

The above one works for me.
The url if ends in .swf, it shall work. Thats what I noticed.

Code:

[flash(600,90)]https://dl.dropbox.com/s/d5ic58mw3nhrp2d/simon%27s%20blue.swf[/flash]

That should work then

if i use dropbox in which i do have an account with, how would i put the link on my forum

This is being moved to Other Problems since it is a support question.

it doesnt matter, i fixed my problem. you can move it. let people know that in order to add swf files, dont upload it via the forum but use dropbox. upload to dropbox, open up the file and copy, go to your forum and it the flash icon and enter the url of the dropbox swf file. it will appear on the forum.
