ColdFusion 8 and Flash player

[komrad78]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows if it's posible to have a Flash player in CF8? I can embed a player in HTML using <embed src="assets/samples/track.mp3" width="100" loop="false" autostart="false" height="20" /> but was wondering if the same can be done using a cf tag to make it look 'flashy'?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Komrad78,

The same thing can be used in CF also..

This question shows a misunderstanding of what ColdFusion is and does.
ColdFusion is a dynamic language that builds output to send to a web
client through a web browser. The most common and oldest output it
generates is HTML.

So of course you can have ColdFusion pass or build the HTML <embed...>
tag that you would send to a browser to have it request a Flash object.
This is no different then having it build an <img...> tag to request
an image object or a table tag or a paragraph tag or any other HTML.

no, cf does not have a tag to create a flash video/audio player, at
least not yet...
there are many 3rd party flash players out there, many free - they are
usually easily integrated into cfml/html code.
