.swf file to work in a sig box

Hi All

I have been asked a few times on how to get a .swf file to work in the sig box instead of using a picture.

Can you advice me on how to make a .swf file work as a sig.

Many thanks

This isn't really a WYSIWYG issue, since the signature field isn't WYSIWYG and doesn't use the check_html function in mainfile. It's really defined by the Forums configuration - if you allow the HTML tags (e.g. object) necessary to allow .swf files in signatures.

I'd recommend checking the phpBB forums, but I'm not sure you'd find it even there since loading a signature with .swf files could slow down your site and even cause problems if the remote .swf file isn't available.

Considering that flash can holde event /timed and other macro's/code that can be executed I would strongly advise you NOT to allow flash files as sig's.

Hi All

Cheers for that, however, its not for my site, its for a clan site I setup. Some of thier members wish to use .swf files

Cheers
