We are using FCKeditor 2.6.5 (not upgrading for legacy reasons). Say there's a flash object in the editor. The editing area shows a nice Flash placeholder image. There is nice valid embed code in source view. The corresponding front end web page also plays the flash video correctly. Everything seems ok until you start to move things around...literally.
The problem is, when I try to cut(ctrl+x), copy(ctrl+c) or just drag the object around the editor, instead of dragging the "object", what I am really dragging around is the placeholder image. Therefore, what was supposed to be:
<object>....</object>
now becomes:
<img src="spacer.gif" ....>
after it is "moved" around the editor. Which, although sort of makes sense, is obviously not what the user expects. Does anyone have experience working around this problem? If hacking an old library is too much effort, what do you recommend for a rich text editor for user input? Thanks!
