Display Problem With SWF Tools In Drupal 6: "You Are Missing Some Flash Content...."
Apr 15, 2011
I installed SWF Tools 6.x-2.5 in Drupal Drupal 6.20. I followed the installation instruction and also setup SWFObject 2 - JavaScript. The status page does not show any error.
The problem that I have is that when I indicate the content with [swf file="MyflashTest.swf"] I always get the message:
You are missing some Flash content
that should appear here! Perhaps your
browser cannot display it, or maybe it
did not initialize correctly
I using apache webserver in my localghost. I tried to open the page with IE and Firefox but I always get the same message
Any idea what do I need to check/set to make flash content appear?
Working on a site where I want site admins to be able to upload swf and/or flv files inline in a content's body together with text,images, etc. I'm currently using the WYSIWYG module (with CKEditor). Basically, what I need is something like [URL] but for flash content. I've looked for something similar but without success.
Not sure how to describe this issue, but I only get it in Firefox and not any other browser. When clicking around, the page sometimes blows up with the attached pic. Sometimes it has even more characters than that, and you can see things like LAME encoder referenced. Anyone know what the deal is? All site caching is disabled. I am no pro with flash so I don't know what is causing this. I am using the Boutell XSPF player due to its support of Autoresume, if that helps. I added it to the list of players, and have the flash embed code in a block. I am achieving this using the Drupal Audio module and submodules supporting it.
I want to design a web page that will display a visual aid representing real time data. Real time for me means updating at least every few seconds, or literally realtime/event based if that is possible. The data displayed will be displayed in a rather visual/graphical way rather than simple text or a table.
I do not have a lot of knowledge of web development other than a little knowledge of HTML, so I do not know what options are available to create a web page that does what I want. My search has seemed to point towards Flash as being the technology best suited to do this, but I have also seen several articles which caution against flash (but mention no alternative).
The main alternative contender instead of Flash seems to be Comet style programming which I understand would likely utilize (in my case at least) a system called "long polling" to update data regularly. This could work, however the nature of the way I would like the information displayed leads me to believe that flash might be better than this as it sounds like longpolling is well suited for simple display of text inofrmation based on results, whereas I will need certain details of the visual display to change as well depending on results.
My research has also lead me to believe that an ASP.NET or PHP page would almost do what I want, but my understanding is that these two frameworks'/ languages' purpose is more along the lines of generation of a unique web page when loading rather than updating it as someone is looking at it.To make sure it is clear: communiciation is COMPLETELY one way in my imaginary web page. the user's display needs to update but they in no way send data back.What tools are best suited to create a webpage which will update/display (in a visual manner) data in real time in as someone is viewing it?
edit:
after finding this article: How does facebook, gmail send the real time notification?, I am thinking Comet could still be a really good option as I can just use it really as the messenger of events rather than having the direct result displayed as text or something. Still looking for advice on which way may be easier though due to my impression that Flash may be easier to program the graphics in a dynamic way.
I want to put a movieclip with tools at the bottom of the window in the center with tools icons, it should have fixed posiiton so that user can scroll the main window having it always on prompt. I think I need the browser window size properties to do somenthing as this. Is there a way to get them?
I am working with google maps in flash, and i would like to know how to serve up my own image tile for the "we have no imagery at this zoom level..." error. I dont want to serve up an entire map of images - just for the times when google has no image does the tile layer base dispatch an event? (i couldnt find any in the api) is there a method that can be overridden by extending the tilelayerbase class
I am an ActionScript developer and I am working on an interactive SWF that gets loaded by Drupal. I am using SWFObject 2.2, the Facebook API for Actionscript, and the SWF Tools module for Drupal.
The purpose is to allow the user to create a picture and then post it to thier newsfeed. The interaction with Facebook works great when I load it into a static html page using swfobject.embedSWF(), but when Drupal loads it (via SWF Tools) the swf loads but the Facebook methods do not work. For example, Facebook.init(APP_ID, onInit) never returns. Normally Facebook.init(APP_ID, onInit) will return a success object if the user is already logged in, or a fail object if the user is not. When my swf is loaded by Drupal this does not work.
I've triple checked the SWF Tools configuration, and as I said, the swf loads and works, but just can't contact Facebook.
I embedded flash to my site using this:print swf('myflash.swf');into my page.tpl file however it is not recognizing the orig dimensions when using this:print swf('myflash.swf',array('height'=>400,'width'=>700));But the flash is showing up, only the dimensions had the problems. I have been searching and searching around in Google and drupal forums to no avail for a few days now..
Long story short, I'm developing a theme template for a blog that enables you to view the posts in blocks. The main part of the post is displayed at first, then the secondary content is displayed over that when you hover over the post block. Everything works fine on a Mac Versions of all major browsers, but start browsing on a PC, and all hell breaks loose when you start trying to display content over Flash Video embeds. The flash element remains visible over the content. It's completely unusable.
From a PC, you can view an example of the problem here: [URL] I'm almost certain this is a bug in the Flash Plugin for Windows, but I was wondering if anyone else had come across this problem before, and if there were any solutions.
I want to use lightbox to display Flash video player.I would like to have lightbox load a page that has SWFObject code for displaying the Flash content. This page with the Flash content and SWFObject will have certain paramters and vars Does anyone know of an example or tutoral for doing this?
I have a client where some of their employees have flash installed and some don't. So always using the swfuploader module widget isn't going to work and it doesn't gracefully fall back to HTML. In fact it just leaves a non-functioning button in its wake.
So what I would like to do is detect when they don't have Flash available and switch to the standard Drupal File Upload widget. Now in my head it seems like this would only work if done on the server-side. But can that even be done reliably on the server side?
Also, can this on-the-fly widget switching even work in Drupal or will it pitch a fit?
I want to display HTML formatted content from various sources inside a Flash Flex application. Flash supports HTML formatting in its text fields, however it is very limited compared to a web browser. Are there any scripts out there that will convert common HTML formatted text into a format that Flash can handle? My particular use cases are:Displaying HTML formatted emails inside FlashDisplaying RTF files inside Flash (after running an RTF2HTML conversion on the server)Displaying random HTML content copied and pasted from other sources into Flash
I'm editing a flash web template in Flash pro (cs5.5 master collection) . I have a horz scrolling calendar with event and direction links in each day. The calendar is Html/css/ and jQuery. If I Build a single Html page that loads the CSS and jQuery and contains all the calls and Content text and I call/display this in a flash box in my "movie"
i have downloaded a flash component "Fade In Fade Out Slideshow".and included mu images in it.i don't know how to include it in drupalits index.html page is
Is it just me or is there some content missing from AS3 live docs? I am looking for match, replace and search which I thought were available on String, if not in RegExp page. On the RegExp page there are links to Sting.match(), String.replace() and String.search() but none of them seem to go to the right place in the String page.
After working for a prolonged time on a programming problem, I start to get coding tunnel vision. It makes it harder to draw back and look at the problem from farther away. Hence my question: I am using a Drupal 6 site. When a menu option is clicked, the page opens and a Flash SWF file needs to played in a ThickBox. After 8 seconds, that Thickbox closes.
Opening the SWF file in the Thickbox when a link is clicked is no problem, just like closing the Thickbox afterwards; that's basic javascript. For that I use these:
[Code]...
But opening the Thickbox on load? I can add a link for the user to click, but it should open automatically. I figured out the PHP to have it only open on one specific page. From the Thickbox manual, I learned to open links to images - but not how to open it when the page loads.
I have an xml doc which works beautifully....now I want to edit the "content" so that it display html content, ie....within the text of the "content" I could add bold tags or add a links or something like that....I have looked up and down and no thread I could find has a straight forward definitive answer...not just on here either...is it that difficult...i doubt it?I will have to set the properties of my text box to accept html...right?so something like this....
theText.html = true;
THis was my attemp...(the first part)...but no deal...

I like the Eclipse SDK for other languages like python/java etc for writing code. But the Flash CS4 environment is not as intuitive (specially the editor). Is there any alternative for writing actionscript?
I was asked to create a screensaver capable to run on both win and mac. I am ActionScript developer, so I prefer to solve this using Flash/SWF. I know this is possible using several tools:Projectors such as Zinc or SWF Studio (os independent, $$$)Converters creating screensavers that use the Flash Player (one converter per os necessary, requires Flash Player on user machine, freeware)Adobe Air created screensavers (os independent, requires Air on user machine, no costs)I do not have control over the machines the screensaver will run. So everything needs to be simple and safe. I would go for option 2, but I am not sure if the tools I discovered are reliable.What tool you recommend to create the screensaver descibed using existing SWF files?Is there another (single) tool to create the screensaver without using Flash/AS/SWF?
How can I display alternate HTML with the jquery.swfobject plugin for browsers without Flash? I'm unable to find any documentation or examples showing how to do this.
I am useing Flash CS3. For some reason, I will click on the little arrow on a tool like "free transform" to get to the "Gradient Tool" but it refuses to expand so that i can select the "gradient tool". I am having the same problem with other expandable items as well like the "rectangle tool" which by clicking the little arro in the lower right should expand a menu to select other tools like the "Oval Tool" etc. Does anyone know what this could be?
what is error 1069?, the line in red drops error, any clue?.....
