I want to embed this tutorial library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/ into the SoftChalk lesson at www.richlandcollege.edu/library/infolit-ol/mlasl/. Acadia sent me the following code, but SoftChalk says only widgets with embed code can be added. Can the following code be rewritten to work? 

<?php
  $classid = 'clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000';
  $width = 600;
  $height = 450;
  $movie ='http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/gmodule3.swf';
  $param['base'] = 'http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/';
  $param['title'] = 'You Quote It, You Note It!';
  $param['quality'] = 'high';
  $param['wmode'] = 'opaque';
  $param['swfversion'] = '7.0.70.0';
  include_once('flash_object.php');
?>

Thanks,

Amy

Disclaimer: I've never heard of SoftChalk, so I don't really know what I'm talking about ;).

It looks like that page already includes a javascript library that might help (FlashObject). You might be able to do something like this:

<div id="flashcontent1"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
   var fo = new FlashObject("http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/gmodule3.swf", "gmodule3", "600", "450", "7.0.70.0", "#ffffff");
   fo.addParam("base", "http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/");
   fo.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
   fo.addParam("title", "You Quote It, You Note It!");
   fo.addParam("quality", "high");
   fo.write("flashcontent1");
</script>

Here's the documentation I found for FlashObject, if you're interested: http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/

It worked! You can see the results on page 2 of the lesson at richlandcollege.edu/library/infolit-ol/mlasl. Thanks! Amy – Amy Feb 4 at 14:38

I took a quick look at SoftChalk. My guess is that they only allow you to embed actual HTML, but not PHP. Here's a tutorial about embedding Flash in HTML, which may be helpful.

(If I'm right then one reason you may not be getting answers is that your question is scaring away people who don't know PHP - you might want to retitle it accordingly) – Bill Barnes Dec 2 at 17:24
