I don't know the HTML needed to do this, but it would be easy to setup some UBB Code to do the HTML equivalent.

Do you know what HTML is needed to do so?

As flash files, real audio movies, and other movie formats, QuickTime needs at least 3 variables to be set. One for the file url, but then two others for width and heigth.

The most simple HTML code for embeding it would be:
<embed src="movie.mov" width="431" height="338" pluginspage="http://www.quicktime.com">

Would like to see this, especially flash

Flash would be cool, you could have a "Games" forum ;-)

I added flash by just inputting the code in forum that allows HTML and it works fine, the ubb code addition would save some headaches thought ;-)

Code
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" width="300" height="300" ><param name=movie value="http://www.yourflashpath.com/flashfile.swf"><param name=id value="3dCube"><param name=quality value=high><param name=play value=true><param name=scale value=showall><param name=loop value=true><param name=menu value=true><embed src="http://www.yourflashpath.com/flashfile.swf" name="shockwaveflash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="300" play=true loop=true quality=high></embed></object>

you gotta be careful about flash, bcause if I recall correctly there were some security issues to deal with...
I don't think there are any with QT though...
but it would be cool anyways to have "flash inside".

Ooh... I had forgotten. I'll try and take a look at this over the weekend.

If I can scrape some time together.

I know, I'm sorry.

I've had so much work to keep me busy lately, I haven't had time to play on mods for here.

It's on my list.

Will post when I get it.
