Looking for an easier way to add a Flash file to a SharePoint content page? Download and install the Flash WebPart SharePoint Solution and you will be able to add Flash movies to your SharePoint web pages without having to edit any html code. Simply add the Flash WebPart to a page, configure it in the WebPart editor by setting the movie URL, width, and height, and you are good to go.

Download the Flash WebPart (SharePoint Solution)

Download the Flash WebPart Source Code (C# with all Solution Assets)

Flash WebPart Installation

1. Unzip FlashWebPart.MikeKnowles.zip

2. Follow the instructions in Readme.txt to install the SharePoint solution to your SharePoint farm.

3. The installation will prompt you to optionally install the Flash WebPart feature to one or more Site Collections. It�s highly recommended that you deploy to the Site Collections during the install process as its quicker then having to activate the feature in each site individually.

Using the Flash WebPart

1. If necessary, activate the Feature in the target Site Collection. If you installed the Feature to the Site Collection when you ran the setup program above then you can skip this step.

2. Within the target Site Collection, open a SharePoint page which contains a WebPart Zone and select:
    Site Actions > Edit Page

3. Click to Add a Web Part, and select the SharePoint Flash WebPart as shown below:
