Hi,

I have a client that uses a web proxy filter that filters out <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags in the web pages. Is there a way to display the Flash file without using the above tags? We are just using a single <20k swf file. What other ways can we look into displaying the file if the filter cannot be bypassed?

Well I have done some research :). Macromedia is releasing a new version that uses the parameter AllowScriptAccess to address the cross-scripting loophole. However this does not bypass the filter.


Appreciate if someone has a solution. Any suggestions or tips are welcomed.

Rgds.

You could try writing the HTML tags with javascript instead of putting it
directly in the page.

How does the proxy filter it out? does it actually alter the HTML by
removing those tags?

In that case you can try:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<object width="460" ... >');
document.write('......')
document.write('</object>');
-->
</script>

Luck, Wiebe

Thanks for responding.
The filter looks for and replaces the tags for displaying Flash files.
