      Shannon Martin - smartin@homeaway.com - has suggested we add support for AdobeConnect videos:

      Shannon's 1st email:

      I'm trying to embed a video that is hosted on AdobeConnect. Have you done this before and what additional parameters do I need to add to the widget macro?

      Kevin's response:

      Adobe Connect isn't yet one of the format types supported by the widget macro. Do those videos provide an html block for embedding? You could use the html macro to embed the video that way.

      Otherwise, you may just need to link to the video and have it open in a new tab/page.

      Shannon's 2nd email:

      They don't have an embedded version currently. When I add the movie to the page as an attachment, the player controls are not shown, so the movie just loops and loops, and cannot be paused or replayed as the user needs. The only way it works is to link to the content on our Adobe Connect site, but that opens in a new window, so it's not as elegant as I would like for our users. If you can suggest an enhancement to the product team, I think this would be a good one!
