That's depending on the version of GX Webmanager. AFAIK the latest version has a new Flash element that's not using the gxml flash plugin anymore since it's a bit ancient..

BTW There are other ways to provide flash objects with data from an element. I almost never use the Flash Element when it needs data from GX Webmanager since in that case the Flash object is less likely to change over time and you can also put it on a certain location within the static directory and refer to in HTML. That way you can typically use a mediacollection to generate XML in one elements' JSP which you offer on a seperate url to that same elements other presentation which renders the flash..

Michel

I would create a "flashElementStockExchange.jspf" and put the necessary HTML code for your flash movie in there.

The standard "flashElement.jspf" does not use parameters, but the FlashElement API says that they can be retrieved (although it leaves us in the dark about nl.gx.webmanager.cms.flash.FlashParameter? ).

There's indeed some javadoc missing there...

Anyway.. until then..

nl.gx.webmanager.cms.flash.FlashParameter only has a getName().

It's kids are:
- nl.gx.webmanager.cms.flash.ImageFlashParameter with a getImage()
- nl.gx.webmanager.cms.flash.LinkFlashParameter with a getLink()
- nl.gx.webmanager.cms.flash.MediaItemFlashParameter with a getMediaItem()
- nl.gx.webmanager.cms.flash.TextFlashParameter with a getText()

Hehe... Thanks!

To speed up the advent of "then.." I have created a Jira issue: GXWM-8319.
