Hello,

Here is an example of embedding SWF movie using SWFObject library:

<a4j:loadScript src="resource:///org/richfaces/renderkit/html/js/swfobject.js" />

 <a4j:outputPanel id="flashPanelDynamic">

 <a4j:mediaOutput element="a" id="swfLink" style="display: none;" cacheable="false" session="true"
 createContent="#{mediaBean.paintFlash}" value="#{mediaData}" />

 <a4j:outputPanel layout="block" id="myFlashContent" style="width: 200px; height: 200px">
 <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
 <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
 </a>
 </a4j:outputPanel>

 <script type="text/javascript">
 var flashvars = {};
 var params = {};
 var attributes = {};
 swfobject.embedSWF(#{rich:element('swfLink')}.href, "#{rich:clientId('myFlashContent')}", "200", "200", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
 </script>

 </a4j:outputPanel>

Code for paintFlash() method is very simple:

private void copy(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
 byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
 int read;

 while ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
 out.write(buffer, 0, read);
 }
 }

 public void paintFlash(OutputStream out, Object data) throws IOException {
 ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
 if (loader == null) {
 loader = getClass().getClassLoader();
 }

 InputStream stream = loader.getResourceAsStream("org/richfaces/demo/mediaoutput/text.swf");
 if (stream != null) {
 try {
 copy(stream, out);
 out.flush();
 } finally {
 stream.close();
 }
 }
 }
