Html :: Which Browsers Support The <embed> And <object> Tags
Feb 12, 2010
I am working on a department website that needs to be standards compliant (xhtml 1.0 transitional), but embedded flash keeps breaking the validation. We use the <embed> tag because we need to support most major browsers.
We can't use external tools, since the site is managed through a system and the admins don't like us putting extra tools (like JavaScript libraries etc) that could interfere with their template engine.
How widely supported is the object tag? Is it safe to use only the <object> tag and remove the <embed> tag all together?

I'm working on a project which allowing end users to embed a flash in their own HTML pages while we offer different ways so user could choose one that works for their circumstances, for example, most blogs doesn't welcome users to inject JavaScript on their pages, therefore SWFObject wouldn't be possible, we offered two other ways: IFrame and the oldie but goodie Object/Embed pair. Just like old Youtube embedding code:

I'm trying to retrieve values that are embedded in the object tag on the HTML page. Is this possible? I've been trying to find how to do this, but all hits point out to how to embed flash in HTML and rarely do I find on which tells me how to retrieve data from HTML into flash.
Example:
Code:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
[Code].....
How can I simply trace the value in flash??? Just for now, all I want to know is if I make a dynamic text box in flash, can it display the name of the .swf by reading the param?

I have flash file which accepts data from Javascript using swfObject.js and displays it dynamically(using addVariable). But the problem occurring is it doesn't support all browsers. I have IE 6 and Mozilla Firefox 3 with Flash player version 10 installed in it. I am not able to run the file on it. I can't understand why as
the code written in as3 and in javascript is right.

I am looking how to escalate to Adobe Tech Support but paying 29 bux an hour for some recruited college Grad that knows to little doesnt suit me.
Bought an HP Quad and it had Win7 home so poorly installed, configured, overloaded with junk, would not backup, when it did backup and create a repair disk they wouldnt restore. HP's preloaded Win7 build both IE8 and Firefox were crashing with both BSOD and Browsers not responding and dying. Firefox never responds to anything, Microsoft indicates is an add on problem but I think it can be a flash issue although it occurs much more on Wiin7 (ANY Version) for 32 or 64 bit. I have been screwing with this for a month screaming at Microsoft and Mozilla but its a waste of time.
Microsoft forums are polluted for Win7 browser BSOD and Browser halting then crashing posts, there answer is disable add-ons. I cant surf the net without add ons so that is a stupid reponse of finger pointing, giving appearance that Msoft, Adobe and Mozilla dont communicate. No company will take ownership and drive the issue to find the root cause and where ever that cause is make them fix it, Msfot, Adobe of Firefox. so what do ya do?
The HP PC with horrible preload of win7 finally died and killed the build but Microsoft was equally useless in helping me repair that preloaded junk even though the OS is theres. I BOUGHT real disks because HP couldnt support the mess - HP couldnt support chewing food let alone the mess they place on PC's with 90% asian parts with old drivers. Eleven escaltions starting on DAY 1 of ownership of a Pavilion. Hundreds of crash dump error reports sent to Firefox has still gone unresponsed, as they employ the 5th ammendment ,method of silence without support and Msoft remove all add on is laughable but proves HP. Firefox and MicroSoft wont assume responsibilty.
This sucks as all three gloat and boast about a HIGH levels of support and awards won for support but it is all myth, and laughably a lie but I still want it repaired. 28 years in IT - retired I feel qualififed to make the observation.
I never attempted to contact Adobe but I get redirected after seeing the warning about 39 bucks an hour to answer a phone for a freeware add-on.
Does anyone know of have a escalation path to a real person at adobe or department beause tthis site redirects from the ASK Adobe Support link meaning I cant even mail a question to then, Already a BAD sign but the driver is free, but they wrote, and millions are having issue so where is there support - Why bother writing the addon if people cant even ask a question.
So does any know if they support the flash add-on without charging? a Glitch they might want to know about is flash 10.0.0.1 shows in Win7 Event logs as version 0.0.0.1 and I have logs showing that an addon report from the DEP (Data Execution Service) saw an add-on go to a non executalbe memory region whenthe only add-on I have is flash.
Google for IE8 Browser Crash 566,500, Win7 Browser crash 1,500,000, Firefox crashing 587,000, Firefox flash crash 1,420,000, Adobe flash crash 1,820,000, are 4,615,500 google posts found for one issue and I know there are more than that failing but Im sick of the whole thing so adobe is my last gasp. Please respond if you have a fix or path to escalate to adobe.

I'm working on a project and I'm encountering an issue with Flash's sporadic support of HTML 1.01 for textboxes that use .htmlText.The "Title" attribute is not supported for showing tooltips when you hover over the link.For instance, in an HTML document, a href='index.html' title='Click Here' will show 'Click Here' in a hovering tooltip box. It doesn't display in Flash.Anyone know of a good work around? I found this page: have yet to get it working with my text. For instance, I have one textbox, and the URL links are set for various words. This means I don't have the coordinates to set my X and Y for the fake hover effect.

Looking into HTML5 video tag, and researching which browsers support which video file types, and my initial thought is things just got harder than just using flash. I am wondering if there is some skeleton code (combined with development approach for videos) that someone has figured out to do the following: If flash is available, use it If not, try html5 video ogg format If that doesn't work, try html5 video h.264 format If that doesn't work, try html5 video webM format Based on what I am seeing, am I correct in thinking that now, in order to accommodate all users on all browsers, a video needs to be published in 4 formats? If so, this HTML5 video thing is an epic fail!

I'm just trying to understand how once HTML5 enters the picture, the current concerns about browser incompatibility and other issues go away? Wouldn't HTML5 simply add another set of browsers to the large list of current browsers that the application must target?
That is, assuming the enterprise web app requires one of these new HTML5 features (e.g. playing audio and/or video, integrating SVG or vector graphics, etc.). If such a feature isn't critical then graceful degradation may be acceptable and then my question is moot.
But for those apps that require one of these new HTML5 features, are you planning to support older browsers, or expecting it's acceptable to restrict to HTML5 browsers because the enterprise in question has made one of them their new corporate standard (or other scenario, etc.)?

This is such a common thing that I imagine there must be a "good" way of cleanly embedding Flash into HTML5? I'm only interested in supporting the following browsers: FF3, FF4, IE7, IE8, IE9, Chrome and Safari.
I know there's some Javascript solutions like SWFObject, but that seems like overkill. Isn't there just a clean, quick and easy way using HTML?
Additionally: Is there any downside to just using <embed>? It was previously depreciated by the W3C, but I understand it's back in HTML5. So why not just use it instead of faffing around with <object>?

trying to work with "simple" XML for the first time. I'm building a small CMS for a Flash based site and the content is held in an XML file. My problem is that many of the copy fields are XML CDATA fields. on the one hand, with:
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
I can pull the data out of that node and the CDATA tags are stripped. My issues come with trying to save the data with:
file_put_contents($file, $xml->asXML());
Problems are: a) tags are interpreted with their HTML entity equivalents. I don't want this to happen.I gather this is coming from the asXML method because even if I do anhtml_entity _decode on the $_POST data it's still being converted.
b) because of the above, there's no way to add the CDATA tags because they also have their charachters converted.

Everything works fine BUT 2 things: First, font colors tags don't work. If ever I use sth like <font color='0xadadad'>...</font> it won't work. However, if I use <u>...</u>, it works fine
Second, the <a href='...'>...</a> does not work either. I checked in several websites, and the solution would be to set the selectable property of the text to true.

I seem to have the [Embed] tag working OK for embedding fonts But I want to specify font and font location in an xml file, read in the font location, and pass it into the [Embed] statement. Like this
var xFont = xFormat..navcontrols.font;
//then...
[Embed(source = xFont, fontName = 'myFont', mimeType = 'application/x-font-truetype')]
var csgFont:Class;
The error I get is
'unable to resolve 'xFont' for transcoding
I want to keep this all in AS3 if at all possible. I dont want to use the Flash IDE to create embedded fonts. I would ideally like to minimize the impact of changing a font.

I posted this in one of the other sub-forums before I realised this one was available. I am moving over to using the Flex based embed metadata tags to import assets into my Flash CS4 IDE based project. This is working very well but I have hit one small problem - how do you now create a pre-loader? I've done the usual google to look for a solution and found many Flex based solutions and tried them all out but they do not appear to work from within a CS4 IDE based project - even when tried out on a web page.

To get flash to sit behind html elements on a page I read that I have to add this inside the object tag:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
And this to the embed tag:
wmode="transparent"
Is it necessary to add both? Because in FF I got it to work with just the second, just wondering if that may cause issues in other browsers and devices.

I have an XML document that contains CDATA nodes with <BR> tags. I'm importing the XML and displaying it in a text box, but unfortunately the text box is actually displaying the <BR> tags, rather than inserting line breaks. I've set the text box to "Render text as HTML", and I've applied the XML data through htmlText, but it's still not working. If I insert text into the text box manually it will render as HTML, as in:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = "Testing...<br>Testing...";
But if I apply the XML node, it just displays the <BR> tags, like this:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
I've included a .zip attachment that contains a sample .xml and .fla file that illustrates the issue I'm having.
