    Media type either flash file or image file

    Hi,

    A client wants the ability to choose either flash files or images via their media picker field, so I need a way of checking that the item is a .swf first (and presenting it in the appropriate HTML if so) or else returning the image in an <img> tag.

    Is the best way to code this in a macro, or can it be done neatly in the template?

    Thanks all

    You can check 

    umbracoExtension

    For the filetype, e.g.

    umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data [@alias='myField'], false)/data [@alias='umbracoExtension']

    Hope this starts you in the right direction

    Thanks Dan - for the record the following code seems to work (although I've no doubt it could be cleaner/better)

    <xsl:template match="/">
       <xsl:variable name="mediaId" select="/macro/mediaId" />
     <xsl:if test="$mediaId &gt; 0">
         <xsl:variable name="mediaNode" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaId, 0)" />
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data [@alias='bannerGraphic'], false)/data [@alias='umbracoExtension'] != 'swf'">
                 <img src="{$mediaNode/data[@alias='umbracoFile']}" alt="" title="" />
               </xsl:when>
             <xsl:otherwise>
                 <object width="957" height="156">
                       <param name="movie" value="{$mediaNode/data[@alias='umbracoFile']}" />
                      <embed src="{$mediaNode/data[@alias='umbracoFile']}" width="957" height="156"></embed>
                    </object>             
              </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
       </xsl:if>
    </xsl:template>
