Q: 

How to pass the data path for object flash tag from the root directory?

Hello guys,

I'm using urlrewriting to rewrite my url. Let me introduce my problem by bellow example:
Here is old url: http://localhost/test/pages.aspx?pageid=1
I have 2 cases to rewrite:

  1. http://localhost/test/url-rewriting-get-start.aspx
  2. http://localhost/test/url-rewriting/get-start.aspx

The first case is ok, but I would like to use the second case. In this case I must use root path for image, css and object tag (for flash):

  • With image, I modified to: <image src="~/images/icon.jpg" runat="server"/>
  • With css, I modified in head tag: <head runat="server">

  • But with the object tag, I don't know how to set root for the data, movie parameter:

    <object data="anim/head.swf?xmlPath=./menu_flash.html" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="962" height="228"> <param name="movie" value="anim/head.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" />

Anyone have solution for this, please help me. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Tien

A: 

If the flash movie is in the root folder of your website, you could write the tags as either:

<object data="/anim/head.swf?xmlPath=./menu_flash.html" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="962" height="228">
<param name="movie" value="/anim/head.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />

OR

<object data="http://localhost/anim/head.swf?xmlPath=./menu_flash.html" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="962" height="228">
<param name="movie" value="http://localhost/anim/head.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />

Hope this helps!

Why can't you use root path in param tag?

<param name="movie" value="/[path starting from root]/anim/head.swf" />

Alternatively, you can use server tags to resolve path such as

<param name="movie" value='<%= this.ResolveUrl("/[path starting from root]/anim/head.swf") ' />
