## Description

PLEASE NOTE: This plugin is outdated. The SWF format is no longer played by any 
current browser, so there is no reason to use it in a new project. It is kept available
and tested for existing installations that still manage SWF files in their media
library.

WordPress does not allow to upload .swf files out of the box. This plugin adds SWF
support to the media uploader.

## Changelog

1.0.4 Tested with WordPress 7.1 on PHP 7.4, 8.3 and 8.4, and marked as outdated 
because SWF is no longer played by any current browser. Removed an undefined variable
that produced a warning every time the upload dialog was opened. Dismissing the 
admin notice now requires a valid nonce, which closes a request forgery gap without
locking out editors and authors. The admin notice now links to a page that exists
again, and its stylesheet uses a plugin specific handle so it no longer collides
with our other plugins.
 1.0.2 Ability to dismiss admin notice persistently. 0.0.3
Code cleanup
