CKEditor SWF - Enhanced Flash embedding plugin 7.x-1.0-beta1

This module is an extension to the CKEditor module.It also supports CKEditor installed through the Wysiwyg module.It seriously enhances CKEditor's outdated Flash plugin:with CKEditor SWF, inserting a SWF animation, a FLV video or a MP3 audio file becomes as easy as inserting an image file: just pick up a SWF, FLV or MP3 file from IMCE (or CKFinder) and that's it!It is composed of 2 parts: 1. A client-side CKEditor plugin that adds many features and fixes to CKEditor's default Flash plugin: * Allows SWF animation, FLV video and MP3 audio files easy embedding * Retrieves width and height from the SWF or the FLV file * Adds a lock/unlock button to maintain aspect ratio while changing width or height * Adds a button to reset width/height to the SWF file's default dimensions * Allows width/height percentage values * Adds a textfield in Properties tab to edit the base parameter * Adds a Flashvars tab to edit the flashvars parameter * Displays a real preview * Fixes various bugs of the default plugin 2. A server-side input format filter that converts the Flash embedding markup generated by CKEditor into a standards compliant one: By default, CKEditor generates a markup, which is not standards compliant. CKEditor SWF Filter converts it into the correct markup. If you prefer, CKEditor SWF Filter can also use the SWFObject javascript library to embed the Flash content.Requirements and CompatibilityCurrently, CKEditor SWF needs the following to run: * the CKEditor module, version 6.x-1.0 or above or the Wysiwyg module, version 6.x-2.1 or above * the CKEditor editor, version 3.1 or above * the GD2 PHP library * the getID3() module is needed if you want FLV and MP3 files support.CKEditor SWF does not support file names containing spaces, so it is highly recommended that you install the Transliteration module to ensure that your uploaded file names are sanitized.CKEditor SWF has been tested successfully on the following internet browsers: * Firefox 3.5 * Internet Explorer 7 and 8 * Safari 4InstallationCopy the ckeditor_swf folder to your sites/all/modules directory.Navigate to admin/build/modules and enable the module.When using the CKEditor moduleEdit CKEditor module's ckeditor.config.js file (by default, it is in the sites/all/modules/ckeditor directory) and add the following 4 lines at the end of the file, just above the closing }; if (Drupal.settings.ckeditor_swf) { config.extraPlugins += (config.extraPlugins) ?
