[wp-hackers] Shortcode embedded within shortcode -- is it possible?

[Claude Needham]

Brian,

I don't have access to the guts of the Flowplayer plugin. Unless I
hack it, then I would have to hack it every time they upgraded the
plugin.

So I would need to wrap the flowplayer inside my shortcode.

Is there a safe way to do this that will allow me to execute the
flowplayer shortcode transparently?

Or should I be looking for a hook or filter that will allow me to
process the pre-content before it goes into the shortcode processor?

Is there a time line displaying where the hooks and filters happen on
the time line?

Thanks for the hints.
Claude
