Hi, All, i am working on an application that will allow my users to upload files and then display these files on a generated page. file types that they will be uploading include flash SWF files. is there any way of including SWFs dynamically with ROR so that the dimensions of the file are set. in PHP there is the getImageSize function that can read the dimensions of a swf. any such equivalent in Ruby or Rails ... ? any sort of solution would be great such as one involving the swf object or some rails function like 'flash_for' which someone mentioned but I cannot find any info on... ANYONE HELP!!!!!
Correction: that is a GD function, so you will need to find use something like ruby-gd perhaps
I had faced a similar requirement but have yet to find a solution. However in practice it is better to set a fixed dimension (either width or height) and set the second base on a desired aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9).
I've used this approach here:
