How to Play / Embed Flash .swf file in Oracle ADF application

Greetings,

I got this questions couple of times so i decided to write another quicky here. You can play flash in 2 ways
  • Using af:inlineFrame component 
  • Using af:media component
As an example we have .swf file in your imgs folder as shown in the slide




The difference would be af:inlineFrame will show the flash on page

af:media will display it as a link (unless you have a video as source) clicking on the link will open flash file

The output would be similar as follows




Have a nice day,
Zeeshan Baig

    Hi eqbal,

    Right click view controller and choose NEW and then FOLDER

    You can have the source file anywhere but it's a good practice to separate content in folders like templates images fragments

    Hope it helps

    Hi Zeeshan,

    I did same as you said but I am not seeing the flash in my page, I tried both inlineFrame and media.
    Can you tell me what I am missing?
