 ----
+Flash is not available anymore in browsers. Video functionality is included in DokuWiki, see the [[wiki:syntax#media_files|media syntax description]] and [[:video]] options included adding subtitles.
+Embedding videos from the many video sites like YouTube can be done with [[vshare]] plugin.
 This plugin allows you to embed Flash files. Unlike DokuWiki's built-in syntax, this plugin adds an easy way to add arbitrary parameter or FlashVars. Unlike the similar [[plugin:swfobject]] plugin it does not require any JavaScript but relies on DokuWiki's own function to embed Flash files in a cross-browser compatible way instead.

+===== [PATCH] Alternative Image =====
+Hi, I have been bouncing back and forth between [[plugin:swfobject|swfobject]] that does not seem to work anymore and this flash plugin that does not have the ability to display an alternate image in case the browser does not support flash. The following patch will add an ''alt'' parameter letting you specify the path to an image in dokuwiki format.
+For example, if you want to embed a flash movie called ''presentation.swf'' and display the image ''sorry.png'' in case the browser does not support flash, you would use the following code:
+<code>
+<flash center 425x344 presentation.swf>
+title A Generic Presentation
+alt sorry.png
+</flash>
+</code>
+To apply the patch, download the file ''alt.patch'' in the ''/lib/tpl/flash'' directory and issue:
+<code bash>
+cat alt.patch | patch -p1
+</code>
+I am sure that the author could revise the code and add a better way of handling this, but this has worked for us so far. :-)
