embed-tag doesn't work

[stiffboy]

hi guys,

1st I just set up my own forum and tried to post a flash file...well I enabled html and "embed" but all these codes I tried don't work...

<embed src="~URL~">
[embed]~URL~[/embed]
[embed=~URL~][/embed]

what do I do wrong?

2nd I read a lot of threads here about flash (.swf) avatars and I'm just curious whether there is now a working hack/mod or whatever for version 2.0.17

don't worry about the problem with enabling flash, I know all the board users, so there is no problem

thx for help in advance

you have to choose tags to allow in the ACP

Whoa, you don't want to be enabling 'embed' unless you really want someone to do some nasty things on your site.

You're better off installing this mod:
SWF BBCode

Far far safer

thx you pretty much, hope I can figure out how to install it, never had something to do with php before

but I'm still curious why this thing didn't work...
