Hi,
I am currently working on a website where the users need to be able to upload screencasts / camtasia videos for users to view, however Camtasia creates 10 files per video for the screencast i.e.
FlashTemplate.css
phy11.html
phy11.js
phy11.swf
phy11_config.xml
phy11_controller.swf
phy11_nofp_bg.gif
phy11_preload.swf
ProductionInfo.xml
swfobject.js
What I require is an easy way for users to add new videos to the site, any suggestions would be much appreciated in the mean time I am going to try out some thoughts on it
Thanks Aaron

After a few hours of hacking the files I have not yet found an easy way to do this.
What i have done though is created a new TV called Screencast (Type = File).
The user then
- Uploads screencast folder to /assets/files/screencasts/videoname/
- Creates a new page in MODx selecting template screencast
- Clicks the File button TV and browses to the newly uploaded screencast folder/html file
- Saves the page
Now when a user visits the page the template uses IFRAMES and calls the file / Url, its not my favourite method but seems to work quite well, also I was thinking and have seen from this client’s screencasts they are rather large so uploading via FTP is a must have.
