Flash in template

Saturday 17 January 2009 3:12:23 am

I have expanded my front page class to include a Billboard_Flash media attribute and I'm having a problem displaying the Flash applet within the template.
I have fixed the Content -Disposition bug so that I can see the flash file in the Admin but I cannot see it when viewing the page normally.

Is there a simpler way of displaying flash files in a template other than using my code here:

 <div class="bigflash">           
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
width="{$node.object.data_map.billboard_flash.content.width}" height="{$node.object.data_map.billboard_flash.content.height}">
<param name="movie" value={$node.object.data_map.billboard_flash.content.filepath|ezurl} />
<param name="quality" value="{$node.object.data_map.billboard_flash.content.quality}" />
<param name="play" value="{section show=$node.object.data_map.billboard_flash.content.is_autoplay}true{/section}" />
<param name="loop" value="{section show=$node.object.data_map.billboard_flash.content.is_loop}true{/section}" />
<embed src={$node.object.data_map.billboard_flash.content.filepath|ezurl} />
    </div>

the error I get is movie not loaded when I mouseover where the applet should appear. http://dev.nikoninstruments.com/global/eng if you want to have a look.

That is what is bizarre, I also did that and found that I couldn't reference the object directly through its url. But if I shell into the server and look in that folder it is sitting there?!
I'm checking through the permissions at the moment to see if that is where the issue lies.

The permissions look fine. I've dropped the ezurl to remove the siteaccess as you suggest.
Something very strange is going on.

Thanks for your help. I rewrote my class and just had an xml block and then inserted the flash object instead.
