hi ive been making a simple flash navigation bar and i have put it into a frameset which is a top section and nested left…the flash is in the left frame and i am trying to open html pages in the main frame using the buttons in the flash… the code i am using is:

on (release) {
getURL(..\mockwebsite\planning.html, “mainFrame”);
}

this opens the html file in a new window but i uploaded the html file to freewebs.com and so the code was:

on (release) {
getURL(http://www.freewebs.com/turner1119/planning.html, “mainFrame”);
}

this opened up fine in the mainframe but because i am creating an eportfolio i cannot upload it to a website just so it works any help please?????????

I just noticed, that some IE Browsers don’t display the flash content, when one uses google analytics.

The problem was that I called the google js before I called the swfobject write method. That hat the effect, that some IE Installations did’nt display the SWF.

First of all: I love swfobject.

But I do have a problem with it on windows. The thing is it runs fine on nearly all installations.

These sites dont

http://www.eventagentur.ch
http://www.mobile-cuisine.ch

The page doesn t load on ie 6 on a computer of a friend of mine.

This site http://www.goldenhills.ch on the other hand runs fine on his computer.

Does someone know why? I have been comparing the code for hours, but i can t find the bug.

Id really apreciate some help, this issue is driving me nuts….

SWFObject shouldn’t have this issue. If you are seeing something like that, it’s probably something in your specific swf, or on your page.

(You can test this by visiting my swfobject example page, and notice that there is no ‘xxx items remaining…’)

Will SOMEBODY PLEASE fix the xxx items remaining problem!! with 50 solutions to the activate problem, no one seems to have a clue how to prevent IE from reloading the object and hanging!! Give me the dotted border on my Flash object over a page that looks like it hasn’t finished loading ANY day.

KH,

That issue should be fixed with the latest version of SWFObject in the SVN repository. Grab it here: svn.deconcept.com/swfobject/trunk/

I created a DNN module using SwfObject to embed Flash movies in your DNN portal. Check it out

Uhh... markup:

Some text





  Flash 1

  Flash 2

  Flash 3

Hope this shows up correctly now.

Hi! I'm new to SWFObject and I love it! I need some help on javascript. I made a function that uses the so.write("flashcontent") to replace the div with multiple SWFs. I have the javascript like this:

function loadFlash(e) {
  if (e == '1') {
    var so = new SWFObject("flash1.swf", "flash1", "512", "384", "8", "#FFFFFF");
  } else if (e == '2') {
    var so = new SWFObject("flash2.swf", "flash2", "512", "384", "8", "#FFFFFF");
  } else if (e == '3') {
    var so = new SWFObject("flash3.swf", "flash3", "512", "384", "8", "#FFFFFF");
  }
  so.write("flashcontent");
}

And the markup:

Some text


  Flash 1
  Flash 2
  Flash 3

It works but the problem is that the flash doesn't show up until it is loaded completely.

for(var i=_2d.length;i>0;i–-)
of course…

I’ve got problem with unloading function deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.cleanupSWFs
It removes swfs starting from the first, so the remaining in this moment move up. It lasts just miliseconds, but my client coudn’t accept that. So I simply modified the order:
for(var i=_2d.length;i>0;i–)
and now it works fine, I hope.

Hald, try setting the border with CSS instead… it’s much cleaner.

By: Hald

Let's try again... [NB: Can someone delete prior post?] Can you add support for border? I don’t really know java… This seems to work… I changed a line in the code as follows:


swfNode = '';

I also thought it would be best to change getAttribute as well:

function(name){
if(this.attributes[name]) {
return this.attributes[name];
} else {
return 0;
}
},

Though, IE7 won’t play the trailers unless you click the link ?detectflash=false
