If you click on the orange Firefox icon it will give you the option to subscribe to the RSS feed.

This tutorial explains how to display flash (games) within DotNetNuke®.
You can see an example of this in action on the games pages that are used in DNN Creative Magazine.
This tutorial can be applied to any flash file that you wish to incorporate into your pages, not just flash games.
There are two options available. You can either purchase a module which will automatically play flash files for you, which you can easily configure, or using a small amount of code, you can embed any flash file you require for free.
We demonstrate how to use the free method.
The tutorial does not change any of the core code in DotNetNuke and you do not need to understand flash programming to follow this tutorial. All you need is a basic understanding of how DotNetNuke works, eg. How to add a module to a page, etc.
