Ron Schöningh	Tuesday 18 April 2006 3:25:08 am 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 Myxt Web Solutions http://www.myxt.nl

Ron Schöningh	Wednesday 19 April 2006 9:11:47 am 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.

laurent le cadet	Thursday 20 April 2006 9:29:07 am 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.
laurent le cadet	Thursday 20 April 2006 9:44:09 am 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.

laurent le cadet	Thursday 20 April 2006 10:01:49 am 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> Laurent
