This question appears to have been posted before but I have been unable to find an answer.

Is it possible to have a SWF movie repeat in the DNN Media Module? Or, do I have to find a more fully featured media module from another source.

If I do need another media module, can anyone suggest a good free one?

Thanks in advance!

Turns out the answer is quite simple. The basic code for displaying a flash object in any website will work by using a Text/HTML module and explicitly uploading the file to the portal. Then explicitly entering the file reference into the Text/HTML module through the Source view - the editor/upload tool will not work with .swf and simply enters an "=" instead of the file name.

The .swf will now continue in a repeat loop as designed.
