The Flash Module
The SWF module allows you to put Flash-based content on your Facebook tab.
Adding a SWF Module to your View
All modules are added to a View in the same way with our drag-and-drop interface. To get more information on this, see the Building a View: Adding Modules and Content to Views in Content & Apps help article.
Once you have added a module and given it a name, the module will open for you to edit it or add content. Back on the View layout, you'll see a callout bubble next to your module - click the triangle for controls for your module. This callout will not appear on your published View and your new module will not appear on your Facebook Tab until you click Publish.
Adding Content to a SWF Module
When you drag-and-drop a SWF module onto a View, it will automatically open to the edit page for that module. To add content to a module you've already created:
- Next to your SWF module you’ll see a callout bubble. Click the green triangle next to the title to show your options.
- Click Edit SWF.
- A dialog box will appear with several fields for you to fill
out.
Note: Because Facebook does not allow Flash to play when a page loads, you must also include a start image to display with your SWF file. The Oracle Social Marketing Content & Apps View will trigger the Flash to play when the starter is clicked. The SWF and image file should be the same width. - Once you have finished uploading your SWF and starter image, click Update.
