Issue embedding .swf HTML elements since version 4.0.5.0

Group: Forum Members Posts: 21, Visits: 10	In version 4 (confirmed working on 4.0.3.0 and 4.0.4.0) I could link to the url of a .swf file in the HTML element and get the flash file embedded into inquisit. See the script below for an example. In versions 4.0.5.0 and 4.0.6.0 this script no longer works. Is there any possible work around? <values> /gameplayminutes = 3 /gamesizeH = "640px" /gamesizeV = "480px" </values> <html games> / items = gameslist / size = (values.gamesizeH,values.gamesizeV) </html> <item gameslist> /1 = ("http://www.addictinggames.com/newGames/shooting-games/zombieshooter/zombieshooter.swf") </item> <trial test> /stimulustimes = [1=games] /timeout = values.gameplayminutes * 60000 /inputdevice = mouse </trial>

These are blocked when using the video method, but not when using the html method. Is there a reason this stopped working after version 4.0.4.0. I notice that 4.0.4.0 web availability has been withdrawn, which is what's brought this up as an issue again - before we just used 4.0.4.0. Any thoughts?
