How to Allow Flash Embedding on Drupal
Drupal modules provide additional features and support for elements not found within the core Drupal installation profile. Drupal, a content management system for websites designed by Dries Buytaert, does not natively support the embedding of Flash SWF files. A Drupal module, however, extends the CMS, adding the necessary framework to embed Flash files either on the server side or front side, using JavaScript and jQuery.
