====== Multimedia: Copy SWF file into a non-protected directory ======


When using the multimedia CP to display a Flash swf file and using the "internal file" option (a swf file uploaded via the backend), the file doesn't display/load in the front end.

The reason for this behavior is the protection of the directory "/filearchive/" by an htaccess file.

**There are two solutions for this problem:**

**1st** Disable the htaccess file (no good idea) \\
**2nd** Script: Copy the requested file into an unprotected directory and provide it from this place \\

**I want to talk about the second method.**

\\

===== Description: =====

**Script:**

During the CP call the script determines the relevant file name from the HTML source code and looks for the existance of the requested file within the non-protected directory. If this file does not exist there, that file will be copied from "/filearchive/" to "/content/tmp/" and the HTML source code for the output will be generated.

<note> **If the original file in "/filearchive/" is deleted, the copy in "/content/tmp/" will persist !!**</note>

===== Example template: =====

For a better identification and runtime optimization you must insert ##%%<!--COPY_SWF//-->%%## into the template. 

File: **template/inc_cntpart/multimedia/copy_swf.tmpl**

<code html>
[MULTIMEDIA]
<!--COPY_SWF//-->
	<div class="multimedia">
		{MULTIMEDIA}
	</div>
[/MULTIMEDIA] 
</code>

===== PHP: =====
