Could you post a particular <OBJECT> tag which uses ".swf" or ".fla" file sthat you would like to use. Or even better, could you post a HotPot quiz that uses such a tag.

thank s

Yes, that´s the main idea. You create a HotPot quiz that uses a SWF or FLA files either as an OBJECT or in a normal link, and if the mediaplayer is set to adjust the urls, then they will be changed with the correspondent player. I am currently using this patch in a production environment , plus another patch I posted here about FLV files, and it works perfect.

I think there was a reason I orginally left out SWF and FLA files. I can't quite remember the reason at the moment, but I will look into it if you can end me a HotPot quiz with one of the <OBJECT> tags you describe. Please upload the quiz to this site, or mail it to me direct to gordon at-sign kanazawa hyphen gu dot ac dot jp. If possible please send the Hot Potatoes source file (not the html file). Thanks.
