Referencing MP4s and SWFs from <object>

Does anyone know the proper way to reference, from an <object> element, an MP4 or SWF that has been imported into the CMS? Publication Manager keeps telling me "No versions available in the repository...".

  • It sounds like the import of the MP4 or SWF to the repository was not performed completely or correctly. The version is tracked in the baseline just like any other object (topic, map, image, etc.) and is independent of the reference in the XML. The reference in the XML should look something like the following:

    <object width="450" height="388" type="applications/x-shockwave-flash" data="GUID-6E50F898-39EE-45C5-B8C5-E54DE152B5CD" id="GUID-FEC177F5-8AE3-47BD-AA1E-2157DADD346A">
    <param name="movie" value="GUID-6E50F898-39EE-45C5-B8C5-E54DE152B5CD"/>
    <param name="allowsFullScreen" value="true"/>
    <param name="quality" value="high"/>
    </object>
