Profit

Edit: Enable flash in posts first! (Admin > Posts and topics > Post Settings > Embed flash into posts) and be aware that embedding Flash CAN have small security risks. Don't ask me what those risks are, though, coz I don't have a clue!

[Illori]

are you sure this works? i tested it on my 2.0 RC4 install and all i got was a link, not embedding the video. Yes I do have flash bbc enabled.

[DoctorMalboro]

Doesn't work in my 2.0 RC4 test forum :/

working on my test forum- RC4.

You need to enable flash embedding for this to work But it does work

EDIT:

Admin -> Posts and topics -> Post Settings -> Embed flash into posts

[Nibogo]

REMEMBER THAT ENABLING FLASH IN POSTING IS UNSECURE!

K@ You should add that warning in first post.

[busterone]

Indeed. That is why it was on my test forum. I do not allow it on the main site. 

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

It is a small risk, but you are correct, embedding youtube videos is not not a risk though....

[Masterd]

Well, this is an old trick.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

It is yes, was widely used before AEVA came to be.

[Masterd]

AEVA is better.

We can easily create a permission that which user groups can use that flash tag. BTW, very nice trick I was not aware of it earlier .

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Depends on what you want and need, really. But I use AEVA too, it is simpler and saves me from explaining how to embed something time and time again

[Masterd]

There is also a SAVE.

[Joker™]

I think tips are posted to show that how can you achieve something in some other way. Like for embedding videos you can use AEVA or this trick. So it is much better not to compare them(this trick and AEVA).

[Arantor]

There's Aeva, there's SAVE. I think I'm right in saying that Aeva's future is... limited seeing how Nao can't update the first post in the thread.

Meanwhile, I'm not sure how thorough SAVE is at detecting all the weird variations of URLs. I do know the XenForo version is very buggy as discussed on the thread about it but that's not an issue here.

Can't Enqable flash embed,it is security risky ...
