Guardian chalkboard and HTml code thingy

[Pogue Mahone]

So I dunno if anyone has seen the guardian "chalkboard" application?

It allows you to do all sorts of boring stats stuff and display them visually. I think it uses shockwave/flash.

Once you've created your masterpice you have an "embed" option, which resulted in the following massive chunk of code, when I clicked it;

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" name="chalkboard" width="460" height="620" align="middle" id="chalkboard">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="all" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.guardianchalkboards.com/guardianchalkboards_embed.swf?chalkBoardID=MTgC0p2eS3Pb26P633eP"/>

</object>

Anyone know how to make that work on redcafe?

We may need to enable HTML code again.

I wouldn't advise enabling html on the forum. It's a massive security risk. People can hijack the users and feck up the layout with just js and html.

Printscreen -> paint -> imageshack

Printscreen -> paint -> imageshack

Yup. Looks like the simplest option.

we would need a hack that let us post Flash videos
