+Geofellas Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I am investigating the possibility of including a shockwave file in a mystery cache description (it just contains the needed clues to find the coordinates as a sound clip) but my experiments don't seem to be working since I am not seeing the expected display on the webpage. I am wondering if perhaps the HTML code I am using is getting removed, possibly as a potential security risk (?), when the page is rendered. If so can anyone suggest how I might achieve the goal in another way? I suppose I could always just send you off to my own website to get the clue but if I can avoid doing that I would prefer it. Here is the code I am using (URLs are not the actual ones) <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="26" height="26"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.somewebsite.com/00.swf"> <param name=quality value=high> <embed src="http://www.somewebsite.com/00.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="26" height="26"></embed></object> Thanks Link to comment
+Markwell Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Since you're hosting the shockwave movie on another site, why try to embed it in the cache page? Why not just provide a link? Link to comment

I was trying to reduce the number of clicks for the user. I might have to end up doing that though. Thanks Link to comment
Jeremy Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 You are correct. Nothing can be imbedded into an html page on the geocaching.com web site due to security issues. Same goes for any javascript. Link to comment
