Paul, Thank you, Thank you! the perfect push in the right direction. here’s my solution.
at the bottom of this page: http://jenkins.wocommunity.org/job/Wonder/javadoc/er/attachment/package-summary.html there is information about custom viewers. so I added to my properties file: er.attachment.mimeType.application/x-Shockwave-Flash.viewer=com.eltek.components.TPSWFDefaultViewer Then I created a new component in my app TPSWFDefaultViewer. HTML: <webobject name = "SWFContainer"><webobject name = "params"/></webobject> WOD: SWFContainer: WOGenericContainer { elementName="object"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash"; data=attachmentUrl; } params : WOGenericElement { elementName = "param"; name = "movie"; value = attachment.fileName; } public String attachmentUrl() { WOContext context = context(); ERAttachment attachment = attachment(); return ERAttachmentProcessor.processorForType(attachment).attachmentUrl(attachment, context.request(), context); } I then added two rules to create a link on the ListInsertions page: 100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListInsertion' and propertyKey = 'theSWF') => componentName = "D2WCustomComponent" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment] 100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListInsertion' and propertyKey = 'theSWF') => customComponentName = "DisplaySWFComponent" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment] when you click the link, you get a dummy page with the swf embedded in the midst of a fictitious newspaper’s home page. The end result HTML: <object _componentname="com.eltek.components.TPSWFDefaultViewer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ASClientApproval.woa/attachments/id/1/1.swf"><param name="movie" value="1.swf" id="theSWF"></object> BTW, This project is to allow my vendor, to upload swf ads, then my client will log in and be able to see an example page with the swf embedded with text and other ads. I don’t know what I would do without WO. Thanks again for the push.
