    Hello,

    does Adserve plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adserve/) support flash ads?
    Thank you for reply!

    I've tried uploading SWF files, but they won't display either in the Adserve admin section or on the site itself (you simply get the title of the ad and the link, but no flash...)

    Anyone know of a way to get this working - been looking through the code for mime-type limitations.

    I'm not seeing anything in Adserve code that would block SWF files (and I've tried several different SWFs to make sure it's not some file corruption).

    The SRC for the file is being displayed correctly, both in the Admin panel and on the site... So why can't the file display?

    Stumped on Vancouver Island

    When Adserve produces the code to link to the jpg, gif, or whatever, it uses a regular sort of link. I realized later that it would need an OBJECT html code in order to render an SWF file.

    Have had a quick peek at the Adserve code - seems it would be a matter of checking the mime type of the file, and then coding it to use the OBJECT code for SWF's. I'm what you'd call a PHP dabbler, so the code is still eluding me.

    i've made some changes to this plugin, and it seems like flash-ads are working now. i work in javascript and actionscript, so all this php is still kinda new to me. what's the easiest way to get you guys to try it out? any ideas?

    changes are made in ad.php (almost every function) and adsave.php (the database update/insert).

    i manually added flashwidth and flashheight to my wp-adserve database, but i think my code changes will take care of it when installing it for the first time.
