I'm using swfObject to embed a flash player in my app. Sporadically, I see errors in FireFox (only, not in IE or Chrome) when trying to communicate with the embedded flash object. The error says "SetVariable is not a function". The code which causes this error executed fine just moments ago, and now shows this error. If I re-load the pag...
I have an AS3 flash player 9 swf with a stage size of 500x100, on the stage I have some objects which extend over the stage border, for instance a 50 pixel diameter circle at 490,90. What is currently happening when I embed the swf in HTML is that the circle is getting cropped, I would like it to still be totally visible even though it...
Hi Guys, We have run numerous tests now and it has now come down to either a DNN-SWFObject loading multiple swf files on a page or Firefox bug. Here's the outcome we need: Two swf files on one page: Header.swf: which holds the nav and some bling animation. Map.swf: which has different provinces of the country highlighted on rollover...
I have a weird question about swfobject behavior. I have the embed code like this: script type="text/javascript"> It doesnt appear. When I do this, it does! script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {}; var params = { allowScriptAccess: "always", loop: "true" }; var attributes = {}; swfobject.embedSWF("FILENAME", "myAlternativ...
A site I use displays a flash file, which is embedded dynamically using SWFObject. I want to download the flash file locally, so I can run it when I don't have access to the net. However, when I try to open the url to the swf file, it demands an 'id' parameter that is normally passed by the SWFObject Javascript. Specifically, the sourc...
Hi all, I've got a fla player and I'm trying to get it to display inside a div properly, it looks ok in IE (only after you refresh the page), but none of the other browsers show it properly (only 1/4 of the tv shows).. The flash document size is 336px x 220px and I've placed the tv and remote inside. I'm using SWFObject to call the flas...
I've been racking my brain trying to figure this one out as it's been a problem on the past few sites I've worked on (though they haven't gone live yet) and rather than trying to rig up a solution I'd like to try and discover the root of the problem. Here's the site in question: (url removed) Basically I coded this homepage out as plai...
When the user clicks on a thumbnail it activates swfobject and simple modal. It opens the modal and loads the swf into the modal. The swf is loading an flv. I used Flash to do the flv -> swf thing. In IE7 there is an audio echo when it's being played in the modal, but not when just watching the swf from the server. I have sucessfully u...
I don't quite understand the SWFObject examples downloaded http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/alternative_content_examples.zip'>here. Why the availability of the flash plugin is checked only by <|--[if !IE]> --> instructions. Does it mean that just IE can be without preintalled flash player? Of course no. Then why just IE is...
Hi There, I am currently developing a PHP website that has a lot of Flash components. On each page there are one or more custom Flash components embedded with swfObject, as well as sIFR navigation. Every so often, ALL of the Flash objects on the page become unresponsive to the mouse (no hand pointer). So far I have found it happening ...
the flash map calls the xml external file which contains data the map shows in firefox and works a treat but wont show any of the xml data Help ...
I am experiencing some difficulty in having the flash content show on this page. I have checked the code and the paths and everything appears to be correct. I have another page in the same directory as the swf file and it works fine so I know that swfobject and the swf file are working properly. Any ideas why the swf file is not showing...
I have been using swfobject for some time now and I always seem to have one recurring issue that I could use some insight on. If I create a page with a swfobject and the swf file is in the same directory, I can always get it to load properly. However, if I have the swf file and in some cases the .xml file and related images in another d...
I'm having issues with Firefox 3.5.3 Windows embedding Flash using wmode. If I set the wmode parameter to 'transparent' or 'opaque' Firefox 3.5.3 Win XP (Flash player 10.0.32.18 r32) completely fails to embed the movie, but it works in everything else, including IE on the same machine and the same FF in Mac OS. Can anyone help please? ...
I am having a strange problem. I have a view that is supposed to load a swf. The swf was compiled with Flex and the mxml preloader displays but it loads a blank screen. When I path directly to the file it loads fully and works fine. Other possibly relevant information: The swf makes calls through GET requests to the database the si...
Hi, I have created my own video player using Flash and AS3. Within the flash movie, i have a link which allows the user to copy the object embed code and page url on their own site, similiar to youtube. The player all works fine and retrieves the right flv's depending on what page you are own. I also have the object embed code working f...
I know that this question is asked a lot, I checked all of the "related questions" before posting this and I tried all of the different solutions I could find, but to no avail. I am working on a site at Site Page and there is a header navigation using Pop Menu Magic which the original creator used, it currently is hiding under the swf t...
I'm clicking on a link within an iframe and loading an html file into a div in the parent window, using jquery. This does load the content into the div in the parent window (I'm using top.document to refer to it), but part of that html file is loading swfobject with a new variable, to play a different swf. It works fine all on one page...
Greetings. I am developing an animated homepage for a Flash-HTML hybrid website, and for the sake of standards, my solution is proving difficult. I am not a Javascript pro, so any help is appreciated! Here is the run-down: For Flash users, HTML page loads a variable-height AS3 Flash movie that will start at 556 pixels high, and after...
What are the differences between SWFObject/SWFAddress and JSInterface? JSInterface has a lot more functionality but SWFAddress seems to be the standard, so I'm wondering what you choose to use and why, and if you could use both of them. Can you even do SWFAddress-like things with JSInterface? I can't seem to find out how to do "back",...
