Adding a Flash animation to a certain page. At present daisy doesn't support embedded objects in the document body. Can this be extended ?

hi Brigitte,

NOTE: I'm not a Daisy maintainer, just a Daisy user with a reasonable amount of experience.

Whilst the Daisy Document content and HTML clean-up (part of the JavaScript? editor) only allow a specific set of HTML tags. There is a solution ... by using the "include" tag you can insert almost any reasonable HTML fragment from another file within your local file system. This other file could then contain your desired embedded object. Actually, you can "include" almost any URL.

I've done this for Java Applets ... please see ​http://www.geekscape.org/daisy/geekscape/g1/11.html for details.

I'm sure the same technique can be used for embedded Flash.

By the way, I wish to do the same thing using OpenLaszlo? (​http://www.openlaszlo.org). If you are into Flash, then I highly recommend that you check this out.

I believe using Daisy to serve both Java Applets or Flash user interfaces, which can then manipulate the Daisy Repository via the HTTP+XML API ... is a good thing.

cheers Andy

A MultiMediaObject? document type has been added. To embed a flash animation in another document a MultiMediaObject? document can be created which which is ten added to the document of choice using a query include. The MultiMediaObject? document type can also be used for video and sound fragments.
