Sitecore and Flash Manager

[Andy]

I am working in SiteCore 6.0.2.  In the media library, I upload a flash file.  I use the Flash Manager to select and insert the media into the content and when I do, it works correctly the first time.  When I come back to edit the content, the src attribute is empty. 

Code after inserting:

<object id="myMovieName" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="630" height="209">
        <param name="_cx" value="16668" />
        <param name="_cy" value="5529" />
        <param name="FlashVars" />
        <param name="Movie" />
        <param name="Src" value="%7E/media/introduction2.ashx" />
        <param name="WMode" value="Window" />
        <param name="Play" value="-1" />
        <param name="Loop" value="-1" />
        <param name="Quality" value="High" />
        <param name="SAlign" />
        <param name="Menu" value="-1" />
        <param name="Base" />
        <param name="AllowScriptAccess" />
        <param name="Scale" value="ShowAll" />
        <param name="DeviceFont" value="0" />
        <param name="EmbedMovie" value="0" />
        <param name="BGColor" />
        <param name="SWRemote" />
        <param name="MovieData" />
        <param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1" />
        <param name="Profile" value="0" />
        <param name="ProfileAddress" />
        <param name="ProfilePort" value="0" />
        <param name="AllowNetworking" value="all" />
        <param name="AllowFullScreen" value="false" />
      </object>

When I come back to edit the content, the code changes to:

<object id="myMovieName" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="630" height="209">
        <param name="_cx" value="16668" />
        <param name="_cy" value="5529" />
        <param name="FlashVars" />
        <param name="Movie" />
        <param name="Src" />
        <param name="WMode" value="Window" />
        <param name="Play" value="-1" />
        <param name="Loop" value="-1" />
        <param name="Quality" value="High" />
        <param name="SAlign" />
        <param name="Menu" value="-1" />
        <param name="Base" />
        <param name="AllowScriptAccess" />
        <param name="Scale" value="ShowAll" />
        <param name="DeviceFont" value="0" />
        <param name="EmbedMovie" value="0" />
        <param name="BGColor" />
        <param name="SWRemote" />
        <param name="MovieData" />
        <param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1" />
        <param name="Profile" value="0" />
        <param name="ProfileAddress" />
        <param name="ProfilePort" value="0" />
        <param name="AllowNetworking" value="all" />
        <param name="AllowFullScreen" value="false" />
      </object>

With Sitecore, it is linking the src attribute as a .ashx file.   Do you have any workarounds?  I am assuming the src parameter is not kept as the item is not a .swf, but the .ashx, returns the swf file.

Thanks,
Andy

Hello Andy,

As far as I know Sitecore CMS uses a very old version of RadEditor Classic the development of which is discontinued more than 2 years ago and we do not support it.

My suggestion is to tested the latest classic build of RadEditor Classic in the following live demo: Default Example. If the problem is fixed then you can upgrade using the instructions below:

1) replace the old RadEditor.dll with the new one v7.3.6  from the latest RadEditor Classic installation as well as update the RadControls/Editor folder.

2) If the old RadEditor.dll is reference by another SiteCore assembly you should configure assembly binding redirect in the web.config file:

<dependentAssembly>
  <assemblyIdentity name="RadEditor" publicKeyToken="852c9eb6525c1b53" culture="neutral" />
  <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-7.2.0.0" newVersion="7.3.6.0" />
</dependentAssembly>

You can find more information in the following MSDN article: Assembly Binding Redirection.

Kind regards,
