Javascript :: Using SWFObject, The Flash Moves 1 Pixel To The Right On Firefox
May 6, 2010
check this page: [URL] For whatever reason, the flash slideshow moves over 1 pixel when opened in Firefox on my Mac. All other browsers render it fine, but only on Firefox it leaves a 1 pixel white gap on the left!
I am using the most recent version of SWFObject. This unfortunately is a garbage Weebly site and I cannot use jQuery in the system so I can't do a real gallery... so let's save the whole "don't use Flash for that" pep talk. It's a favour for a friend and I am already aware of better ways to do it. :)
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?
let suppose i have a object named "data" which has a callBack function named "closeItem" which does something. So i have flash file which has a close button. on click of that i am calling this function which closes this item. So issue is? If i pass this "closeItemFunction" as global function this works fine. but if a pass this function as a "data.closeItem" this doesn;t work throwing some falsh error. so i just wanna ask that "does flash only call gobal scoped javascript function" ??
I have a movie clip that I would like to slide to the right or left depending on which button the user clicks. When I test the movie and click on the buttons, the target movie clip only moves one pixel. I want it to slide into place. What am I doing wrong?
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?
I have downloaded SWFObject, and included it in my website. Now I want to simply get a true or false value based on whether or not Flash is installed in the users browser when they visit my site.
Is it possible to use Flash JavaScript API with YouTube videos? The only function that I got to work reasonably is "Zoom". TotalFrames() gives "1" and TCurrentFrame('/') is always "0". Other functions seem to do nothing. For testing this I'm just using the live Google Playground Demo with "ytplayer" as the movie object. Most of what I want to do can be done with the Google API, but I still feel uncomfortably unclear on the three way relationship of YouTube videos, swfobject, and Flash.
I'm using swfobject to dynamically load a flash object into a div, and I'm wondering if there's an easy way to display a loading animation until the flash object is ready for display? In this case, I'm loading an embedded Issuu object, and you can see an example of Issuu loading via swfobject here. Depending on your connection speed, there is typically just a blank white space while the flash object loads, and it'd be great to indicate progress with a loading animation if possible.
I need my flash to appear in front of the background on this website [URL] it loads but its entirely transparent. I need the content to be visible and the background of the flash to be invisible. Here is the flash itself: [URL]. How do I leave the content visible but use the website's background? I'm using swfobject
I have to call an ActionScript method via Javascript, but I have a problem accessing the flash object itself. I embed the flash file via the help of swfobject.
Previously, when I use the static publishing approach, I could easily get the flash object by calling these methods:
swfobject.registerObject("flash_object", "9", "expressInstall.swf"); var flash_object = swfobject.getObjectById("flash_object");
For some technical reasons, now I have to use the dynamic publishing approach (using swfobject.embedSWF). But, as mentioned in the documentation, the method getObjectById can only be used if you use static publishing approach.
I have a situation wherein I have to keep the size of my flash swf smaller than 215X130 pixel. However, I want to use Microphone, so the permission dialog needs an area at least 215X130.
I have built a Flash site and also set it up with alternate content so it can be viewed on iPhone and iPad as well as other mobile devices. It works great everywhere but in FireFox the site's swf loads on the page twice.Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, what have you done to work around this FireFox bug?
I have a simple html page with some javascript where if i click a link, it will show a flash video in a div using the swfobject.embedSWF function. I did a test: Uninstalled flash from my machine, then reloaded the page and clicked the link...I correctly saw no video. I then installed flash and came back to the same page (no reload) and the embed still won't work. I know in swfobject 1.5 (I'm now using 2.2), I would be able to embed the swf after the user installs flash, but now the user needs to reload the page in order to get the flash to appear. This is not good for my current situation, anyone know what is going on here? Here is sample code using a youtube video:
I have found a way to send a play(); command to my Flash movie in IE9 but I can't figure it out in Firefox9. Here is the code I am using that works in IE:
I'm trying to add mediaelement.js to my site to present a single player for any MP3 link on a particular page. The design is working fine for IE 9 and Chrome 11 (which have HTML5 MP3 support), but it has an issue with the flash fallback on Opera 11 and FireFox 4. Clicking any MP3 link on the page uses the .setSrc() method of media element player to change the source of the player, but in Opera and FF, the first time this method is called, it returns error "this.media.setSrc is not a function". Any call to the function after that works fine.
Another issue is after the element containing the player is hidden "display:none" and then displayed again, calling the .pause() function will produce error "this.pluginApi.pauseMedia is not a function". After that error is thrown, subsequent calls work fine until the element is hidden and displayed again.
I have a html/flex app loaded in an iframe, and wmode is set to 'opaque'. I have 'mousemove' listener attached to the document of flex app and document of the parent. Once I mousedown in the flex part of iframe and move my mouse around, i can see the logs from the iframe. However, when I move the mouse around in the parent, i dont see logs from the parent. But, if I mousedown on the html part of the iframe, i can see logs from both iframe and parent. Same sort of bug is reported in Firefox 4/5, which breaks html part of it. Visit [URL]
I downloaded SWFObject & it came with several files.... it has one swfobject.js file in the root dir & another in the "src" directory.... their file size differs so I'm wondering which one I have to include in my header?
Can anyone give me a clue as to why this markup works fine in Safari, but not in Firefox?This should load an ugly blue placeholder (which I get in safari) but in Firefox, swfobject just gives me the alternative content.[code]
Without AutoHotkey and Firefox -unfocus since it's involved in operating another program and it doesn't work on linux and without Restore Window Focus After Flash addon since doesn't give you control over flash tabs.implementing this gBrowser.selectedTab.unfocus(); method and bind it to a keystroke in Firefox v3.6 ?I've also tried (based on the addon above)
if (document.getElementsByTagName("EMBED").length == 0) { return; } if (document.activeElement.tagName == "EMBED") {
Through my website (easier, as i can detect the browser)
sending an email which will have a player to stream the audio
restrictions.
1. Firefox wont play MP3
2. Iphone/ipad wont play flash
3. Iphone/ipad wont play ogg
4. Emails have trouble with javascript -jplayer (potential of ending in the trash)
problem. if i send via an email, i cant detect the browser, so cant choose ogg, flash, etc.
Solutions - 1. Use HTML 5 and embed a player stream mp3... works in iphone, ie8, chrome....not in firefox (mp3 issue) and older ie browsers (html5 issue).
use jplayer.... i expect the email to dislike the javascript and throw into the trash, plus will firefox play the mp3 audio? use flash.... i expect iphone/ipad not to work, also will it play from an email?
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]....
Am 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)
Several months ago for a project at work i developed a video player using flash, external interface and swfobject.js. I used external interface to facilitate communication between javascript and actionscript. This works great. Currently I am working on an extension to this that requires me to extrapolate logic from what i already written. I am using the same swf file in both applications, but in the extension i can't get the flash object to recognize my calls. Since i am using the same swf object i know that my problem is in the javascript, i just don't know where. I am using the JQuery Library. Without further adieu here's my code.
Having a problem with SWFObject reporting the correct error message for users running OSX 10.5 and below. (Currently getting the "Unsupported Operating System" swf loaded with links for the user to update there flash player) The problem with this is proceeding to the default links provided causes conflict with OSX 10.5 and below since Adobe directs them to update to Flash 11. Which will not work on that os! So what I'm trying to figure out is, IF I can detect OSX 10.5 and below with SWFobject and direct them to a 'noflash' method (ie: if you would have no flash installed to begin with).
I have a chat application that I built using Flex. The application on page load is hidden by setting the <object> in the page height to 0px. I did this because I need to be able to talk to the swf with javascript and setting the object to hidden really does "hide" it. In other words it treats the swf like it is not loaded on the page at all.I have an HTML button on the page that says "chat". When you click the button a couple of things happen. First I show the swf by setting the <object> height to 330px and I also tell the swf what person I am going to be chatting with by passing in a user name variable using javascript.On Windows using FF and IE my javascript can't find the swfobject.getObjectById("myswf") if the <object> height is set to 0px. Sometimes it can't find the swf at all event if height is set to 300px.The javascript calls work perfectly on OS X in any browser and it works on windows using Safari.
I have a flash within a holder div (flash container). I use swfobject to insert the flash object (if it makes any difference). I want to resize that holder div to make it smaller in width, when I achieve the "second level" in my "flash application". (with jQuery .animate() function). What "flash application" mean: I have a human body on wich I can click in different body areas. That is the first action - and the effect is to zoom onto that specific area of the body.
Then I can click again on a more specific zone into that area - and the effect consists in fetching some stuff via ajax. (it's some medical stuff, diseases etc.) - that's the "second level" in my "flash application". Then I can click on that stuff fetched via ajax - that's when I resize the flash holder. The problem is that, because of this resizing, my flash reloads and comes back to it's original state, without that zoom level. This reload appears in the "second level", and not when I click on the stuff fetched via ajax and the flash holder resizes. But that's the cause of the reload, because without this resizing, it's all ok. The problem is just in Firefox, I tested it in IE6,7,8, Opera 10, Safari latest and Chrome and there's nothing wrong there, the flash does not realod. Hope you understand what I'm saying here :) if not I cand send you a private message with the URL to see what I mean (I can't make it public)
For my current project I am working on a home page that has a series of tabs above a content box that each execute an ajax script to load new content into the content box. However, some of these pages contain a flash object called with SWFObject and when the ajax script calls the page, the SWFObject javascript is not executed and I am left with the no flash support error message.
I have tried defining a function for each video call (short of just designing a single function and passing variables to it) and having the function be called as part of the ajax function but I am left with the same results. I am not opposed to using something other than SWFObject though I have been lead to believe it is the best solution currently.
Is it possible to pass native JavaScript objects such as arrays and hash-map-like objects to Flash Player with SWFObject?
I basically need to pass an array of objects to Flash from JavaScript in the Flash variables, so this is my code:
[Code]....
When I get the object in Flex, I simply get a String that looks like this: "[Object object], [Object object]" which leads me to believe that my array is being serialized into a String before entering Flash. Is there any known workaround?
And yes, I do need to pass Flash variables in this manner, since they'll key off some loading which is necessary to do before the application starts.
