SWF file not always loading properly

Michal Slocinski	Saturday 29 December 2007 12:58:00 pm Hi, My problem is that SWF files added as eZ publish objects sometimes do not load on the web page. Sometimes means in ~30% cases. I can see it in firebug extension to Firefox that only 52 of 82 kB of the file is downloaded which prevents flash player from playing it. Funny thing is that I couldn't replicate this issue with IE, it seems like only Firefox is affected. But on the other hand - there is plenty of other pages with Flash objects and I didn't notice similar problem before. So it's pretty likely that it's not eZ publish problem but some strange mixture of Firefox + eZ publish + Apache. I'm using default Flash class which renders itself like this: <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="125" height="415"> <param name="movie" value="/index.php/en/content/download/75/292/logo.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="play" value="true" /> <param name="loop" value="true" /> <embed src="/index.php/en/content/download/75/292/logo.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" width="125" height="415" play="true" loop="true" > </embed> </object> Maybe you had similar experiences or some hints where to look at?

Hi,

My problem is that SWF files added as eZ publish objects sometimes do not load on the web page. Sometimes means in ~30% cases. I can see it in firebug extension to Firefox that only 52 of 82 kB of the file is downloaded which prevents flash player from playing it. Funny thing is that I couldn't replicate this issue with IE, it seems like only Firefox is affected. But on the other hand - there is plenty of other pages with Flash objects and I didn't notice similar problem before.

So it's pretty likely that it's not eZ publish problem but some strange mixture of Firefox + eZ publish + Apache.

I'm using default Flash class which renders itself like this:
