It’s fricken epic!

lol

Found it on some site… And i never uploaded something flash to my website and wanted to see how that went… It was an epic adventure to find out! I now realize i need a flash-embedding-thing if i want to do it again!

I also wanted the noisy flash not to show in the index listing…
And so i went into #wordpress and talked a bit to to simonwheatley_. He suggested to use ‘Shortcodes‘. I had no clue what that was, but it seems it’s a new feature in Wordpress 2.5 and up. Allowing people to use things like [somerandomfunction] in posts and have it do amazing things.

He put together a tiny example. With that and the API i mocked up a quick plugin to get flash embedded yarrr!!
Usage will be a snap:

[hiddenmedia width="384" height="288" url="http://meandmymac.net/wp-content/uploads/its_frickin_epic.swf" loop="true" autoplay="true" urltitle="More after the jump!"]

Is the code for the flash used in this post for example… And most variables will be optional, too. To make it even easier.

I’ll release a version soon i think. Stay tuned.
