I have a flash file with an xml file as flashvars. when I use this code it works in every browser, but not in IE 7 or higher.

After reading a lot, SWFObject seem to be a good option. All u need to do is:
1- Include swfobject.js in header
2- Create an empty div for the flash object to be included
<div id="myContent">
<p>Alternative content</p>
</div>[code].....
The only problem I have is: I don't know how to pass the flashvars via a url for an xml file. It seems to me that SWFObject does not support this. Instead, you need to create a list of flashvars as
var flashvars = {
name1: "hello",
name2: "world",[code]....
this is the code i'm working with right now:

I have a flashvar on my html page which is currently being sent to my .swf file which is working fine. I now want to add multiple flashvars, but I'm having a tough time trying to access them in a loop. The idea is to have it working something similar to how a for in or each loop would work so that I can call the flashvar, and get the values of all flashvars.[code]I'd like to have all of the content in my var_txt textfield.
View 1 RepliesI have a flash component calling an external xml file configurable via the component inspector (I mean the location of the xml file). What I need is to pass the xml location as a flashvar variable from the html code. When I debug my flash, I can see the xml variable as Variable _level0. myBook.extXML = "URL...So, I am trying to add the flashvar to swfobject as so.addParam("flashVars","extXML=sample.xml"); //any xml what i need.It does not work and does not pass the variable.

I am trying to take a PHP variable and pass it along to Flash via Flash vars. My end goal is to pass a string formatted as XML to Flash, but because I'm struggling I've stripped everything down to the basics. I'm just trying to pass a simple PHP string variable to Flash via FlashVars with SWFObject but something isn't right. The page won't load when I try to pass the variable inside of php tags, but it will load if I just pass a hard coded string. The basic structure of my page is that I have some PHP declared at the top like so:[code]How do I pass a PHP variable using SWFObject and FlashVars?
View 2 RepliesI've tried to send some parameters to my flash app by flashvars. Unfortunently, it doesnt work. To embde flash I'm using SWFObject 2.2. I also use lib SWFAddress 2.4 (I'm stating this, because I've heard that some versions of swfobject and swfaddress are not compatible).

I've tried many solutions and read many tutorial or forumposts, but I havent found any that solves my problem.
I have never used flashVars, even in AS2, but the project I'm working on requires that I use since my client is going to use dynamic urls defined as expressions and he wants to have control without having to edit a fla file. I have read a lot of tutorials and can't seem to come up with a solution. Basically what I want is to load my Flashvars defined in swfObject, each one holding an expression, for example:

How will I accomplish the same thing in as3? I know you have to get flashVars using .loaderInfo but that as far as i got.

I'm rebuilding this embedable player for a client of mine, the video file URL and a couple of other variables are in the HTML as Flashvars. I suspect something is wrong with the code that looks for the flashvars.
The top part showing the green box is where the player didn't load because it was unable to obtain the Flashvars form the HTML. The player below has the Flashvars string hardcoded into the player so it works.
I believe the problem lies somewhere below Perhaps something wrong with the way I'm trying to pull in the Flashvars?
// LIVE Embedded
//vidURL = stage.loaderInfo.parameters.fvar;
vidURL = this.loaderInfo.parameters.fvar;

View 3 RepliesThis has been driving me nuts. I've worked with SWFObject in the past which is great. However I have a requirement not to use JavaScript. So when I try to do flashvars examples all over the net, they don't seem to work for me. Steps to repeat:
1) Create a pure AS3 project using Flex or Flash Builder
2) In the index.html wherever there is a .swf, add a name value pair suffix.
test.swf?foo=bar
3) In the constructor of the main class Sprite, trace(root.loaderInfo.parameters.foo).
Expected: bar but traces out as undefined I've tried setTimeout() to evaluate 5 seconds in the future, still doesn't work as if it's not loaded at all.

With swfobject 2.2, how do you specify the desired version of flash you require? I need flash 10, but swfobject won't perform an upgrade install with the provided expressInstall. swf in the swfobject 2.2 distributable. How do I get an upgrade install to occur for flash 10?
View 1 RepliesI'm just getting into web design and I'm trying to make a few things work with embedding video onto a webpage. I have some video I shot and edited in Avid and I used a video converter to convert the avi into a swf file.
I followed the swfobject and google to code up the html. However, when I play the file in Firefox, the video plays but doesn't include the stop/pause buttons nor the scrubber button or volume control. Is there something else I need to do?When I upload the videos to youtube or vimeo it has the controls but I would like to keep the videos on my website.
During the bet (for the small few that had one), apparently it was mentioned that flash will publish it's html files using swfobject, but I publish, i don't see swfobject. Does anyone have any info on this or is it a rumor?

I have a flashGallery.swf file that I am loading into my flash site. I need to set the parameters for the xml, content, and php script paths as well as set the width and height for the swf. The parameters were originally set in the HTML file like so:

I want to access the javascript method using SWFObject and give its parameter.
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 properly in the first page?

Is it possible to target and style the div that swfobject (2.1) creates to display flash content?
Basically I want to be able to set a background image to appear in a header div, and then load a tranparent swf file over the top using swfobject. But swfobject doesnt seem to have any reference to the div that it creates when displaying flash content.. only the alternate content div.
I have a flash SWFObject on a pafge and i want to make the background transparent so that the base HTML background shows through. This is my code:
var so = new SWFObject("images/topnav.swf", "flash", "100%", "100%", "6","#000000");
so.addVariable("xml", "data.xml?time="+new Date().getTime())
so.write("flashcontent");

Ive been trying to include an swf with buttons, that plays .flv videos, into this html page: [URL] (feel free to view source) Im having trouble because i think the swf 'links' to flv files, and neither are in the same directory as the html page - the swf is just not showing up. i dont want to duplicate the swf and its corresponding flash files if theyre already hosted once by this client - does anyone have a solution, or is the problem actually something else? the swf files can be downloaded at: [URL]
View 1 RepliesIn firefox everything works just fine, but in IE it doesn't. I tried several things but just cant get it to work. In the beginning I also had the error; swfobject is undefined - saying I had something wrong with the javascript thing. I think I fixed that now, but still the movie is not getting loaded.If I go to the page and push the right mouse button (middle of the page) it say: movie not loaded.
