Hi All,

Microsoft issued an Internet Explorer patch which forces visitors to click on flash content in a page to enable it I decided to include the workaround provided by Adobe (http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/).

Between the <head> tag I included:

	
<script src="/design/mws/javascripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

and where the flashmovie should show up:

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0',
'width','800','height','258','src','/design/path/images/intro.swf','quality','high',
'pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'movie','/design/path/images/intro.swf' );
</script>

The result is an empty space with the correct dimensions of the flash movie but the movie itself won't display. Before I had no problems displaying this movie.

What's wrong in the code above?

Thx, Ron

Hi,

I followed this ( http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/ ) to solved the same problem and stored flashobject.js in my_sitea_cccess/javascript/flashobject.js

I call the .js from the template with the regular "eZway" :

<script language="JavaScript" src={"javascript/flashobject.js"|ezdesign}></script>

<div id="flashcontent">
  This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
   var fo = new FlashObject("/design/plain/images/home_viewer.swf", "home_viewer", "665", "150", "7", "#FFFFFF");
   fo.addVariable("diapovar", "{$diaporama}");

   fo.write("flashcontent");
</script>

It works fine.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for your reply!

One other thing I was thinking about is that the Microsoft patch will probably also affect flash or quick time movies which are uploaded by a site editor using a standard flash template.

Best regards, Ron

yes, as Microsoft seems to change it's mind daily, it should be good to adapt the .js solution to standard way flash movies are automatically "embed".
I think it can be simply done by hacking the embed/flash.tpl.

I'm thinking about something like this :

<script language="JavaScript" src={"javascript/flashobject.js"|ezdesign}></script>
       
<div id="flashcontent">
  This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
   var fo = new FlashObject("{concat("content/download/",$attribute.contentobject_id,"/",$attribute.content.contentobject_attribute_id,"/",$attribute.content.original_filename)|ezurl}", "objectid{$object.id}", "{$attribute.content.width}", "{$attribute.content.height}", "7", "#FFFFFF");
	fo.addParam("quality", "{$attribute.content.quality}");
	fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
	fo.write("flashcontent");
</script>

It should work.

This works for me :

<script language="JavaScript" src={"javascript/flashobject.js"|ezdesign}></script>

<div class="view-embed">
    <div class="content-media">
    {let attribute=$object.data_map.file}
		<div id="flashcontent">
  			This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
		</div>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		var fo = new FlashObject({concat("content/download/",$attribute.contentobject_id,"/",$attribute.content.contentobject_attribute_id,"/",$attribute.content.original_filename)|ezurl}, "objectid{$object.id}", "{$attribute.content.width}", "{$attribute.content.height}", "7", "#FFFFFF");
		fo.addParam("quality", "{$attribute.content.quality}");
		fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
		fo.write("flashcontent");
	</script>
    {/let}
    </div>
</div>
