This plugin provides a method to embed Flash content (SWF files) with user-controlled loading. It is designed for site owners who need to include Flash animations or applications but want to avoid the performance and bandwidth impact of loading them automatically. By requiring a click to load, it keeps pages fast and controls data transfer.

• On-Demand Loading: Flash files are fetched and displayed only after a user clicks a clearly labeled control bar. This prevents the media from slowing down the initial page render.
• Bandwidth Management: For larger Flash files, this approach reduces unnecessary data transfer for visitors who do not wish to view the content, which can lower hosting costs.
• Developer API: Offers JavaScript functions (initBox, createBox) for manual integration, giving developers control over initialization parameters like dimensions, Flash Player version, and passed variables.
• UBB Shortcode Support: Includes a simple shortcode syntax ([flash=width,height]url[/flash]) for easier insertion within post or page content without writing code.
• Graceful Degradation: The recommended initBox method replaces a specified HTML element. If JavaScript is unavailable, the original content within that element remains visible.
