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?
View 3 RepliesWith 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.
I have just created and posted some scrolling banners to our company website, but I'm getting the following error:

I seem to be getting closer to this, but I can't get it to NOT resize the swf!
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:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">var so = new SWFObject("flashgallery.swf", "gallery", "425", "320", "8"); // Location of swf file. You can change gallery width and height here (using pixels or percents).so.addParam("quality", "high");so.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");so.addVariable("content_path","http://www.flickr.com/photos/thestoryboxallstar/"); //

Here is the AS3 function:
private function changeState(w:Number,h:Number):void {
if (flash.external.ExternalInterface.available) {

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");

I want to pass flashVars to my swf file via swfObject.

Just upgraded literally 2 days ago. Exporting a 525*275 size .swf, I reduced quality to Medium and JPEG quality to 50, and tried exporting in both Flash Players 9 and 10 with no luck. I can't find strict mode which I was told would help. One root keyframe, 13 buttons, 2 MCS and just 150+ lines of AS code. Some of the MCs have .jpg files loaded in for temp art (I code, I sadly can't draw). Ran Disk Cleanup and Defragmenter and restarted the computer with no luck.
View 9 RepliesI created a photo album using XML and actionscript 2. When I test it out on my computer it works great. Just how I thought it would. But when I publish it and put on the server it decides to get a mind of its own. When the page loads the images will go in a random order but the title attributes I created stay just as it should.So basically image 3 will come up first and title 1 will be with it. I changed the the title to print the url that is being called and it will say the correct thing but show the wrong image.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to publish or export a an SWF file to a different size? I created this swf a while ago and now I need to send it with a short portfolio but the swf is 22MB. Plus I have a few other swf's to send with it. Is there a way of exporting it to a different size to cut down on the size of the file?
View 6 RepliesI have a task quite interesting. (dynamic swf generation [banner creation])
a. I have a stage with tools such as importing images (resize, rotate etc..)
b. I have a text tool to create a textfield (change font, size, rotate etc..)
c. similarly i can draw shapes to.
these are all done in a movieclip that has already a defined shape (consider a banner size).Is there any way for creating a swf file dynamically from a movieclip which is on stage.
I've created a logo for a company, and I made an intro animation sequence, but with all the fades and different things going on, the two second animation turns into about five seconds.it's ridiculous. so i guess i'm asking if there's a way to publish to video format that will actually work, or for some recommendations on third party software that could publish to quicktime or avi successfully. all the ones i've tried don't play movieclips
View 1 RepliesIve 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.

How can you use SWFobject to automatically redirect to another URL..NOT add an a href but physically load another URL?I'm using SWFobject 2 at the moment.[code]
View 1 RepliesI am using swfobject to display some Flash content (please don't tell Steve Jobs) and I need to set the background color of the swfobject content to black so it blends nicely with the black page it is on.I tried using the following code but it didn't change anything:
<object id="flash" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="900" height="600" bgcolor="#000">
What is the correct way to set the background color to #000000?
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]....
i'v edited this page over ftp from a normal pc (without developer tools), wich i can't install here.Can anybody see me why the swfobject isn't loading?
View 1 RepliesAm I using the code improperly or is there a flaw in SWFObject? If you go to the URL below you can see that it the flash file (an MP3 player) shows up perfectly fine in Chrome. However, in both Firefox and IE8 it loads a blank white box. If you mouse over the box the pointer changes to a hand as if its registering the buttons, just not actually displaying them. Link: [URL] (MP3 player should be displaying in the right-hand empty column)
