It might be the path. See my posting #132 above.

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
@pictura – laptopphobo is correct, it definitely is the path. /file_download/ isn’t a real directory, but rather a special URL that TXP uses to create download links for files. Referencing that path in a <txp:kml_flashembed /> tag won’t work. You’ll have to reference the actual path to the SWF, which, if I’m not mistaken, in your case is: /files/test.swf. That should fix the non-displaying swf.
Now why you’re not getting the tag generator in the admin and why you’re getting a fatal error in the Extensions -> Kimili Flash Embed sounds like another issue altogether. I’m not sure what’s going on there, but a few questions are apropos:
- Which version of TXP are you using?
- Have you modified the TXP core files at all?
- Have you tried deleting your current copy of KFE, then reinstalling the latest version? (2.0.1)
If you’ve got the latest versions of everything and you haven’t hacked the TXP core, then you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Kimili,
Thank you – your explanation and solution were spot on.
I am not capable of hacking! But technically challenged people like me are often worse than hackers … lol … No, I downloaded latest version 201 zip file. I copied and pasted plugin data into “Install Plugin” area. I haven’t had another version on my machine before.
I can delete and try and load it again.
But the main issue is that it is working fine and I finally got my Flash to play… THANK YOU!

Re: kml_flashembed: Kimili Flash Embed
Kimili,
I need to correct my previous answer. You are right – the TXP version is old (2.0) – I forgot that it was my client’s site I loaded the plugin into and not my own (which has latest version of TXP). I just loaded Kimili flash plugin to mine and as you say “it is good to go”. So I will get administrator to upload latest version.
Do you advise me to reload the plugin when new version is up?
Thank you!

Ah, glad to hear you found the problem. You shouldn’t need to reload the plugin after a TXP upgrade.
Cheers,
Michael
