[Xerte] RE: SWF files in Xerte

[Kemp Johnathan]

If you install page wizards (see the page wizards page of the Xerte wiki)
and then create a page using the Text Flash SWF page wizard, this will
reveal the complete icon structure for a Xerte page that is designed to
handle the playing of SWF files.

Kind regards

Johnathan
