  • Once you have selected your group select the Media tab if it isn't already selected. The work pane should refresh shortly afterwards to display the Media page.
  • Scroll down the media page until you see the list of tasks; select the task titled
    tasksbulletAdd a document file to groupname.
  • Click the browse button to select the .swf file you wish to upload; select Save to upload the file.

The file will now be listed under the Media tab of the group/folder you uploaded it to. Click on the file to change any of it's properties e.g.who it's visible to.

You can display your flash animation on your web site in the following ways:

  2. Add an 'Image/Flash' component to an article to embed your animation within a specific article.
  3. Add a 'Image/Flash' component to a layout to embed your animation within a layout e.g.your homepage layout.
