Swf files

[Santa]

Is there any possibility of permiting .swf files in img tags in this forum?
[img] yes or no.swf [/img]
?

I don't think that's a secure thing to do...

[Santa]

i was wondering why mucho forums dont do it - although i have seen afew where they permit in sig and avs which is annoying.
when you refer to "secure" i thought the main hesitation towards swf img tags was their weight
?

I really don't know if it's secure or not.
but have you seen that flash vid where u click a button and it plays some song, and teh screen shakes.
The sqf triggers a javascript to make that run, which is why i think it's insecure as other things could probably be done as well.

But i'm not sure, maybe someone can give some more information.

What if wee made it so that all .swf stuff to be posted has to be approved by a mod first?

Mabye allow it in sigs only?

Having flash would be a really bad idea, you can do almost anything with it such as spawn unlimited amounts of pop ups even in firefox. too much room for abuse.

That's what I thought, thanks for clearing it up.
